Why aren't the exterior windows of huge buildings washed

by robot? For crying out loud, car washes could be repurposed to do this...

First of all, I am not sure whether the building is supposed to go through the car wash, or if the car wash is supposed to climb the building. Neither way sounds all too practical.

Next, um, Anna, these people would like to have a word with you:

And if not them, then these guys:

Here's one of them explaining to some guy why their services are so valuable:



I'm sure they'd be happy to explain it to you, too.

I thought there was already one that cleaned the outside of the Sydney Opera House, but I could be mistaken....

And this is what bothers me about the beltway media. Yes, high angle rescues are impressive. Yes, they are complicated to do (been there, done that) Yet it hardly qualifies as NATIONAL NEWS.

With all those skyscrapers in Tijuana and the Mexicans well known obsession with cleanliness, she must have been rescuing trapped window washers on an almost daily basis.

Probably closer to national news, than San Diego grass fires.
