Brilliant number and timing for a post - I thought this was a Bonds thread. As if that louse didn't get me upset enough, now I have bridges to worry about. First lightening my pocketbook for the HD-DVD conversion, now this. You're a bastard, pure and simple!  ..and I'm apparently way too slow, as Dystopia has managed to reply twice already  |

There were four in MN that were inspected over the weekend. However there were something like 40 bridges (of all designs) that were ranked ahead of the one that collapsed on the "worst" list in Minnesota. Here is a very scary web page in light of what happened last week: http://www.startribune.co.../10204/story/1341088.htmlThe problem with the type of bridge that collapsed is that it there were no redundancies. It seems that if something failed the whole thing was coming down. I believe that's why there may be concern with those style bridges today. |

On a side note, why is it that the pictures news channels put up of their news team always make the guy look like he's thinking "Yeah, I banged her." and the Woman is thinking, "He wishes..."?

I've been thinking (that's something I try to do every once-in-a-while) and, in the process, came across the thought that the lack of precipitation we've had could very well be a blessing. Right now it's only 8' deep there.

Our local news did a story on how Oklahoma has the most bridges in America classified as structurally deficient. And one of them is I-40 crosstown that is about 6 miles long at least and intersects I-35 at downtown. But plans are in the works for the replacement to be ready in 2012, however since they haven't started yet I'm sure that date is optimistic to say the least.
Hey at least we have a lot of Vegas-style casinos now with a bunch of people thinking of the children.

At least they lay off the scalping a bit more now. A bit. |
