I remember geometry from high school and really enjoyed the class. I recall isosceles triangles, theorems by Pythagoras and the mother of all angles, the obtuse. The obtuse angle is greater than 90 degrees and less than 180 degrees and there is not much in regular life that relates to the obtuse angle. In carpentry, it is difficult to measure an obtuse angle and have the final cut come out correct. I speak from experience.The crews working at Jawbone Park have been working with obtuse angles since starting the storm sewer project several weeks ago. The angles necessary for the various sewer tie ins are indeed obtuse and the work crews have done an impressive job accomplishing the most difficult tie-ins with accuracy and safety. For those readers who think progress has been slow, check out the attached image that illustrates the spider web of large diameter pipes in a confluence of obtuse angles. Work has gone well and concrete will be poured tomorrow around the intersecting pipe collars.
