Brooklyn Bridge still stands as well. A magnificent bridge and I really should walk it again before the weather gets warm and all the tourists come out in force. I read the book on building the Brooklyn Bridge - those underwater caissons were a hassle! Then stringing those suspension cables. Dangerous work.

I saw the video of the Florida pedestrian bridge collapsing. On the left side, it looked like a man was on top of the bridge when it happened and for a split second, he was suspended in mid-air. Really eerie sight. I never did hear what his fate was. Did he survive?

There are several Roman Aqueducts that still stand and are used for bridges - 2,000 years later.

I’m tired of “better mousetraps” that aren’t better, just different (and sometimes cheapened chintzy product).

But then even Free Love isn’t free.

Everything has a cost associated with it.
