Looks like an old wooden tresle. The river is in flood stage.

The cause of the collapse has not been released at this time. Corvallis police said there was a structural failure of the trestle, which was damaged in a fire a few years ago.
That’s a whole lot of powdered pee.

Urea is used in making “DEF” for modern diesel powered vehicles, so that they can be more “environmentally friendly”.
Years ago my mom wanted to get rid of these male cats that hung around our yard. We went to the Ringling Bros circus and they sold powdered tiger pee. Supposedly you sprinkled it in your yard and it was going to scare off all the critters. My mom sprinkled it around and the male cats would roll around in the powder like it was catnip. They loved it. I think it made them smell huge and powerful to scare the other males away. Who knew.
The woods and fields for miles downstream will be lush and green when spring comes.
I was thinking tank cars of cat urine.
Or, to be more precise, it’s what the body means to expel when animals piss, but it’s purpose is the main ingredient of fertilizer.
Local olice comlained that the shiment was deserately needed, and now they must roduce other sources of urea.
After several complaints the railroad spokesperson probably said, “stick it in your urea.”
Great ice melter also
It is also used in diesel exhaust fluid (DEF).
Perhaps we should protest about such train cars like the greenies do about coal etc.

Anyone hear from Mayor Pete?

Biden sends more money to Ukraine gives finger to America.
There will be a big, huge fine for this. Where will the money go?
Typically, the “fine” is paid to an environmental group.
I can guarantee it won’t be used to fix the bridge.
it can also make some good boomers for the 4th!!
