I remember back in the 70’s when they were stretching I10 through Texas. Drilling the holes in the nearby hills to drop dynamite... Then.. BOOM... blew most of our house’s windows out with the blast-waves :p (was about 20 or so houses in that area)..

Is anyone really going to search keywords: artifacts, design, i10...

[MadMax, the Grinning Reaper]

Oh, no! Not another paleo-Outhouse!!!/sarc.

I used to do archaeological work in the US and Tikal, Guatemala. In the jungle, nobody cares about where you take a dump!

Come to think of it, in San Francisco, nobody cares about where someone takes a dump! My what a coincidence, and you remember what happened to the Mayan civilization. If only ....

Thanks SteveH.

How can auto traffic be projected to increase when AOC says fossil fuel will be eliminated in a few years?

[Tolerance Sucks Rocks]

They will all be these little beanie weenie electric cars.

[DUMBGRUNT]

And God forbid they find anything related to the ol’ CSA.

Fortunately (?) in the US, they do. I remember looking at a plat for a house construction in Grand Rapids Michigan from about 1900. Carefully located on the plat was the outhouse. I'm sure archeologists would love to have this now. They would know exactly where to look.

Will we still have the freedom of movement in a few years?

I was going to school during the 1960s about 200 yards from where they were extending I-90 from the western suburbs of Boston all the way to the Atlantic (about 15 miles).Every once in a while there’d be an explosion and the school would shake.

Magic cars.

Mega mass conveyor belt systems instead of roafs.

“fifthamendment” seems an odd choice too.

There were never any outhouses. All structures were religious or sacrificial structures.

I remember a Readers’ Digest story many years ago about a religious site with skeletal remains in a bed and facing an object across the room. End of the story was it was really a guy in a hotel room watching tv.

Same as today, everyone killed by US troops in the ME is always some head honcho. There’s never any average guy killed.

Auto traffic would greatly reduce and there wouldn’t be any need for the new highway if we’d deport all the illegals.

Looking for beer cans or bottles?

US Route 90 parallels this bridge. Wonder if any of the bright folks have considered incorporating US 90 into the new I10 bridge? The construction cost of this one bridge would prolly be less then constructing two bridges.
