Randomly Friday

You have to wonder just how long it could take to retrofit one bridge approach and short freeway section. I’ve been listening to really loud heavy equipment outside my front window (which is working on one single Bay Bridge interchange) for longer than it took to rebuild the WHOLE Santa Monica Freeway in LA in 1994. Of course, it doesn’t help that it took about eleven years after the 1989 earthquake for work even to begin…

I don’t really have much to say today. I just wanted to get Leif’s crotch off the top of the page before people started thinking I was obsessed with it. I’m not. I may have been when I was 13, but it was the 1970s. People actually had crotches then, and it was much easier to get obsessed with them when you could actually see them…

I have a lot of work to knock out today, but it looks like a surprisingly (and unexpectedly) open weekend, which means I can either sit here and enjoy the coming rain or go out driving and watch all those wacky Californians (who forget how to drive from one rainy season to the next) kill each other on the freeways. I’ll probably choose the former. Either way, sleep will be involved. Pork products too…
