Manhole Covers

Regarding the post from the other day about Manhole Covers: Next time you pass one (anywhere in the country, as far as I can tell), look down and read all the words written there. Chances are that it'll say "India" somewhere. Just yesterday I found a bunch of India-made covers right here in Asheville, NC.

What a strange thing to outsource. Can you imagine the weight of thousands of manhole covers being shipped across the seas? The amount of wasted energy that such a practice assumes?
