Truck Off!
I've mentioned before that I work on an island, and I think that I have also mentioned that the 3 1/2 mile causeway onto that island is being replaced. Last Thursday it was announced that heavy piledriveing and other construction have caused serious crack in the "C" span (closest to the island). Cracks that are actually inches long, deep and wide. If you watch the news clip on this link, you can see some of them: http://www.abc-7.com/articles/readnews.asp?articleid=8231&z=2&p. Now, I'm no engineer, but some of those shots of the underside area look as though the bridge has all the structural soundness of say, a Rice Krispy Treat. They are currently working to repair the worst of the cracks, but until then, the bridge is closed to vehicles weighing over 6,000 lbs. They need to fix it before Tuesday, because in addition to gas and food shortages caused by the inability to get suppy trucks over, guess what weighs more than 6,000 lbs? School buses! School starts here on Tuesday... As for me, I am once again armed with my "Get me the @#$!* out of here" car tool. It includes a seatbelt slicer, window basher-inner, and HELP ME lights (in both red and white!).
In other news, I can wear a size 12 pair of jeans!!! I am in shock. The last time I could do this, I was...probably 12!
