i'm in shock. completely in shock. i drive across that bridge everyday. i was actually driving home about 15 minutes before it happened. because of the bad traffic, i have been finding other routes home and i went through downtown today but if i hadn't, it's very possible that i could have been on the bridge or near it when it collapsed. scary! i'm just really shooken up.
as the night has gone on, i've had a little more time to think about it. mostly i'm thinking about my commute, which took me over that bridge normally twice a day. i was just thinking today "man, i'm going to be so happy when that construction is done on 35 and i can just drive home normal again." i was also happy that i was working early all next week because when i get done at 1, the traffic isn't too bad so i can just drive on the freeway home. i guess that's going to change. i heard that it could be 2 years before they have another bridge!
i just can't believe it.
on a lighter note, i guess it's a good reason to get a new job where i wouldn't have to drive that way.
