Darice: you take PGBT in to work?
Bryan Tessier: well not now
Darice: that place where the retaining wall fell is like a mile from my house
Darice: 15+ dump trucks in a convoy
Darice: kuh=razy
Bryan Tessier: nice
Bryan Tessier: makes you wonder about the soil around here
Darice: RIGHT?
Bryan Tessier: yeah
Darice: but then... that is the start of a huge tunnely type part of PGBT
Bryan Tessier: amazing what a little frozen water will do
Bryan Tessier: right
Darice: and I believe that might be close to floodplain
Bryan Tessier: maybe not sure
Bryan Tessier: poor design?
Darice: was it because of the freezing or just the amount of rain?
Bryan Tessier: both
Darice: maybe... it's always a windtunnel over there
Bryan Tessier: hahahaha
Bryan Tessier: well I know that the freezing temps and the amount of rain cause the soil to do all kinds of crazy shifting
Darice: :-S
Bryan Tessier: and with it being below ground that probably also causes problems
Darice: yeah
Bryan Tessier: so there was a 3 ft crack.
Darice: so yeah... I live MAYBE a mile north of that
Bryan Tessier: wow
Darice: there was a crack?
Bryan Tessier: well it was a buckle
Darice: see I was gone this weekend so I hadn't heard anythign until this morning
Bryan Tessier: 3 ft high
Bryan Tessier: imagine hitting that at 70
Darice: A BUCKLE IN THE ROAD?!?!
