Remember Bertha? Welcome New Seattle Sewer Tunnel Boring Machine: Mudhoney

Remember Bertha? She was the tunnel boring machine for the Highway 99 Tunnel. She worked hard for the money.

I guess the band Mudhoney loves it because they showed up for its big reveal yesterday. It is a beautiful boring machine with a paint job. I'd be proud, too.
