Two bridges over Maryland's Severn River closed to traffic[/url]



This is just a couple miles from my house, and since both bridges were shut down—the Naval Academy Bridge has re-opened—I'm effectively stuck in my damn house for the rest of the day.

from that picture, it doesn't look like it would be that big of a deal...

"Runaway barge, never comin' back..."

I swear, tonight when I log in, you'll have about 1000 more posts because of this.

So who fell asleep/was drunk/was absent from the captain's chair?

They don't know what sort of structural damage the bridge took. This isn't a shipping lane by any means. The barge was tied up somewhere they were building a jetty upriver, and the wind shook 'er loose.

take a tip from opa and call an obner today.
i think daystar's home.

actually, i'm not.


ayah....i was telling my best friend about you this weekend.
i think you've prompted her to join the board.
soon, there may be two of us.

guess i'll put the fancy candy dishes out.

no chocolate, please.

When you say "the board", is this code for some anti-man love thing?

No, I think that is called "the plank"

[denver] a road less than a mile down the road from where i used to live made cnn due to extra slick winter conditions down a hill that caused a massive car pileup. this was while i was trying to sell that condo, too.
