Celebrating...

the new span...
This is such an inspirational feel-good video...allow 5 minutes to watch it.

Look what we did!
Yes, it cost the taxpayers a lot, agreed it took way too many years, but we ended up with a breathtaking and inspiring new span. I'm
hearing rave reviews,
and the bridge has its very own Troll, placed somewhere on the new span to protect
the bridge...for
150+ years!
Wow!
This is only one of the reasons why the bay area is such a wonderful place to live!
(I still think the quake should have been named the Bay Bridge Quake...what's Loma Prieta? Just sayin').
And here's today's quote, from the chief engineer of our other famous bay bridge...
Quote du Jour
Our world of today...revolves completely around things which at one
time couldn’t be done because they were supposedly beyond the limits
of human endeavor. Don’t be afraid to dream!
~ Joseph B. Strauss, Chief Engineer
