"You are not the first this morning Sweets."

So I see. However, I am having trouble sleeping tonight and have to get up in 2 1/2 hours. I hate when that happens. So far, the storms have not been bad in our immediate area, although there has been some activity.

Millau viaduct: This awe-inspiring bridge, which crosses the Tarn valley in southern France, uses a series of pylons - each as tall as the Eiffel Tower. Another Norman Foster design, the viaduct broke a series of records and is the tallest vehicle bridge in the world. It has a steel deck, rather than the more usual concrete roadbed.

The bridge was cheaper than the alternative of tunnelling through the hills flanking the river, and will shorten the journey by 100km and by up to 4 hours in the holiday season.

Oh, Sweets - just had my first cup of coffee, the computer was down - watched a little of the NH campaigning - and finally got on. Here you are in the middle of some bad weather.

Hope all is clear by now! (And you are safe, with no damage to property.) That was some storm.
