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:

      PFF raves about our draft. The best class in the whole draft?

      By DaveThePanther2008 · Posted

      Round 1. TMac arguably the best WR in the draft Round 2. Scour ton mentioned as a possible 1st round edge.     Texas A&M did not use him the same way Purdue did. After the 2023 season he was listed as a first round grade. I believe had Texas A&M used him like they did at Purdue he never makes it out of round 1. Round 3 Princely Umanmielen, we'll go by Princely.  Another highly graded player we got in a lower round. As the video suggests, even if he plays only on passing down it's a positive. Give him a couple of years to develop a he could be a three down player.  Round 4a Etienne IMO a huge upgrade over Blackshear. I can see him in a similar role as CMC without the heavy workload. He can run in between the tackles and has some shifty moves. Give Canales some flexibility. A fellow huddler pointed out UGA running backs don't see the field if they cannot pick up the blitz. Really good pick. Round 4b Ransom a hard hitting safety that has played three different positions on defense. Great pick Round 5a Cam Jackson a massive NT in round 5. I believe a solid rotational pick in a lower round. We added a beast that could make offenses quiver when he's lined up with Brown. Great Value  Round 5b Evans This is another player that can block and has good hands. He also had better seasons before 2024. As a rookie he's probably leaps and bounds better than Ian Thomas. I think he gives us a three headed monster at TE.  Round 6 Horn Jr. Many believe he's just going to be a KR/PR player. I believe there are going to be packages for him to get on the field as a WR. His speed with TMac and Thielen in the slot could be special. I'm really looking forward to seeing him in training camp. I've watched some film and he is very explosive.  Overall I love our picks. I honestly believe all of them will contribute this season. I don't believe we reached on one player in this draft.  This weekend we get a small look at these rookies
