Where in the World Isn't Bob Saget?

Apparently, it was under a stress test when it fell. Not 100% confirmed though. My question is if it is normal to conduct a stress test on a bridge like this with traffic flowing underneath? Seems like it shouldn't.

NO. ABSOLUTELY NOT.

That'll be one hell of a lawsuit. They're saying a construction crane may have hit bridge. It was built to sustain a Cat 5 Hurricane. Cat as in kitty cat possibly.

This is really bad.

They have at least one dog on scene going through the rubble where people cannot go, to try to locate people. Dogs are amazing.

They truly are. After 9-11 theybwere in the rubble in heat resistant booties doing the same. Unreal.

I think the last 9-11 dog passed away recently if I am not mistaken.

I just realized that today I only ate a donut and drank a can of pop until right now, about 6:00. How was I not starving?

The bridge was less than a week old! What the heck?!?
How awful.

5 days, to be exact

It’s absolutely crazy to me that structures built HUNDREDS of years ago by men with tools not machines and designed by hand without the assistance of computer aided design programs are standing strong today and this structure was less than a week old and fell. Catastrophic failure on so many levels and innocent people lost their lives. Just awful.

Saw a brief report on this when I got home, about half an hour ago. Supposedly that new bridge was to last 100 years. Ironic, isn't it?

By the way, @Nemo14 , how are you feeling? Are you getting over the flu now?

I'm about 95% better, thanks for asking. I still cough quite a bit and I'm weaker than I ever thought I'd be, but every day gets a little easier.

Was it this donut? ‘Cause that would explain a lot.

Good news--glad you're on the mend! And now that you've made significant progress to good health, don't underestimate the tail end of this flu. Weakness is a very common complaint that I've heard from others--this illness can really wipe you out. Monitor the cough situation in particular. It can switch over to pneumonia in some people (from young children, through senior adults), who never had pneumonia before. Just continue drinking your fluids and rest.

It was a regular-sized Dunkin Donuts left over from breakfast yesterday.

I do feel like I'm getting stronger every day, but I do get tired easily. My appetite is slowly returning too, which does help.

Why do I have this vision in my mind, that you're broke and waiting for payday on Friday, to go and buy a decent meal?!

I actually got paid today, but I'm not broke. A year ago today I was, though. I was 4 days away from losing my job due to a store closing on this day last year.

No “likes” for that!
