Bridge openings during rush hour

Why? Is one ship really more important than hundreds(maybe even into the thousands when accounting for all directions) of cars?

It's happened four times this week that I know of. Three times were actually tankers going to the shipyard so MAYBE they are important enough, but Monday afternoon it was for a sailboat with a very tall mast. WTF?

It was the Holmes bridge wasn't it? I heard it on the radio yesterday...

I agree, why open it from like 7AM to 9AM and from 4PM to 6PM? Stupid.

Monday was just the Holmes. That mast wasn't so tall that the memorial had to go up.

Wednesday morning was the worst though. A wreck happened on the west bound side of the memorial. Rubbernecking ensued on the east bound side during cleanup. During this a ship of some kind caused the holmes to open. It was big enough that it needed the memorial to open as well, but that couldn't happen until the wreck was cleared. Once the wreck was cleared the ship took priority for some reason. So then traffic was kinda tripled up. Bridge, wreck, bridge. My 20 minute commute turned into more than an hour and a half.

I really want to get on the other side of them, but the wife doesn't see it happening with the housing market the way it is. I'm also really afraid of labor starting when there is a bridge opening. I'll be all over the median if I have to.

edit: i'd really like to know what the city/ship captain/bridge operator is thinking when he inconveniences such a large number during the rush hours.

I wouldn't worry about it too much... I doubt that that would happen.

this is God's way of punishing you for living so close to britt's donuts and bikini-clad coeds.

I live much closer to those things than KK does and I don't have this punishment... :p

Seems rather stupid, I'd be willing to bet the laws concerning this subject haven't been changed in 100 years

i'm wondering if i can make a big enough issue of it that the news would cover it, or the city council or whoever would hear it out

I've tried surfing... many, many years ago... never did much with it. My youngest said he wants to learn how.

Dude, I hate that they tore that Pizza Hutt over there down, we used to go over there this time of the year and sit on the deck for lunch... that was awesome.

Hey, where do you work? We should meet for lunch one day... can you make it to McAllister's on College for your lunch break? This is a great time of the year to go there too... :ihih:

      An honest look at Bryce Young

      By OneBadCat · Posted

      Cam was hitting his stride as a QB in 2017/2018.     This is why I think stats like completion percentage are overrated. As long as a QB is clutch and makes the throws to win the game the rest doesn’t really matter. What good is a check down stat padder if they’re a choker.  Until Norv Turner (and briefly Chud) got here we put Cam in high pressure throwing situations all the time. We also ran the ball on first down more than most teams in the NFL in the Ron era. Coupled with shitty WRs, all that is expressed in his stats. I also assume Cam took the ball in his hands on many occasions rather than trust Funchess to catch the ball.    It was also never Cams job to play the game like someone else. His presence on the field dictated the game in a way that is rarely seen.  He showed he could play the dink and dunk game just before TJ Watt. That didn’t suddenly make him better than his earlier seasons. He just got put in a legit under center  passing game again for first time since his rookie year with Chud.    Ron took the quickest path to success and abused the RPO because his ass was about to get fired.    Cam never got the credit for being the cerebral player that he was. I just think when you are legitimately a human Superman, sometimes the best play is having the ball in your hands. He was a better passer than Delhomme was.

      I don't think Canales has any problem benching Bryce or moving on if Bryce doesn't come out playing like the end of last year.  It's year 3 no more excuses for Bryce

      Yea Bryce was definitely a top half qb the second half of last season but I'm not sure Canales is 100% sold on him.  Like I've said in another post I think that's part of why we talked to so many South Carolina players in the draft process.  I think they are doing early due diligence on Sellers just in case.
