aging myself a bit – i saw paul butterfield at the old fillmore east in nyc – ohhh truly back in the day

MY DH played in NYC with Paul Butterfield, that was a LONG TIME AGO.

Sadly, I’m travelling on family business way too much, and cant’ get the additional time away from work :( Could you or a designee please kick Hillary in the shins and tell her to get her act together on Iraq? Thanks…

How did the bridge do on its inspection? Was there any mention of things that needed to be repaired?

It was actually under construction at the time.

no, “merely” repair work thats been going on most of the summer, looked like resurfacing (needs to be done a lot because of salt corroding roadways, and that bridge gets ver, ver icy in winter). Summer is always such an intense flurry of road work that all the different projects blur together as far as what is being done where. Major construction is underway several miles south where Hwy 62 (the “Crosstown”) and I35W. That was ranked #1 worst freeway exchange in US, they finally started ripping down & rebuilding in June of this year.

Does your friend know when this bridge was last inspected? How did the bridge do on its inspection? Was there any mention of things that needed to be repaired?

Actually, he’s my sister’s sig. other-just spoke briefly enough to family to verify whereabouts, phone system here is near collapse as so many are trying frantically to reach each other. So i will be asking him these questions for all of us in the next few days, good excuse to invite myself over for supper ;-)

I’ve only heard that it was resurfacing. That sounds more like maintenance than construction to me. But I’m not there so I don’t know.

Have a friend who’s a safety inspector/construction guy for the state, he & his whole crew about as meticulous and nit-picky as you could hope to find. ‘Course, as referenced, “the head-up-the-ass taxpayer league” (ht johnSwifty) has been doing major caterwauling for years about MN taxes being too high. So Pukelenty and his thugs have cut taxes, lined their pockets, and, surprise, we no longer have the top schools, parks, quality of life etc that we used to have.

If i put on my tinfoil hat for a minute, lots of folks on bridge were heading to twins game. The voters have voted down every request for a new statium (MAJOR wealthy welfare handout to the owners of course.), last few years its been noise about moving stadium to the suburbs. Good reason to now, wouldn’t you say? Damn librul Mpls, with dark folk, Somalis, queers, and now unsafe bridges. Course we gotta move stadium to suburbs. Hat removed. Sorry for the rant folks. I’m upset, maybe you guessed, worrying about all the people i know who would have had good cause to be on the bridge.

Inquiring minds want to know… and it will come out in the days to follow. Of course, we’ll only see it here on the blogs. You know Bill O’ won’t be teling us.
