Recent rains have put this ‘Glory Hole’ into use for the first time since 2017.

I’m putting my Glory Hole to use right now!

Following the article, I think we are obligated to use the term “Glory Hole” at least once in each paragraph.

“Glory Hole”.

My question is: is the glory hole connected to the Putah at all? Putah creek, that is.

The title sounds like something geared toward California-bound sex tourists.

@jlw

known as a ‘Glory Hole’

A specialized form of weir. (Math involved.)

What is a Weir?

I hope someone’s compiling a video of quotes by local news anchors.

Yep.

The load that gets dumped into the gloryhole, eventually drains down the Putah (though it’s usually more of a dribble in most places).

I’ll see myself out…

Actually, I went to UCD, and the Berryessa Glory Hole is pretty scary up close. Much larger than you’d think.
