Caye Bridge Retrofitting

The San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge Seismic Safety Commission can take heart-- we found a bridge still in use and in worse shape than the Bay Bridge.

It was always a fun game to guess when the men working on one side of the bridge would dismantle planks and leave you stranded in the middle of the bay. The other fun game was walking the plank after a rum and coke with dinner... thankfully we never fell off.

Wow- that is a sophisticated engineering feat that bridge! I think you two should hop over it on one foot next time you need to cross- don't let the fear of impaling yourself on rebarb hinder you- GO FOR IT!

POLL: How long did it take Matt to convince Mary that this was safe?

I say 10 minutes.

If I put a comment up here, will the two of you do something worty of an update? Maybe cliff diving or Capaberra racing, or chupacabra capturing? You clearly think that just because you are on a massive vacation that you have the right to not keep us up to date. NOT TRUE, in fact it is your responsibility to allow us to live vicariously throgh you... GET ON IT!
