If you saw the roads and bridges of WV and MD, you’d see a point.

Half of the bridges inspire you pray mightily and drive fast to get across as soon as possible.

The roads?

Drive the speed limit and they beat you to death.

"......Among people who have done business with Trump are many who feel they have been abused by him. Tama Starr, president of the sign-design company Artkraft Strauss (which lowered the Times Square silver ball that marked New Year's Eve for decades), has written about what she calls "the ugly art of Trump's deals." She and others have told me that it's common for Trump to pay 80 percent of a project, withhold the remainder of what is owed by claiming dissatisfaction with the work, and then force creditors to either give up on payment or engage in expensive litigation that might cost more than the money owed.

Donald Trump's big talk, braggadocio, and boldness have carried him far. But "gravity" - the wearing off of his freshness, the cumulative weight of his excesses, and voters taking a closer look at him before they actually cast a ballot - might well bring Trump down to earth, as Cruz recently suggested in a speech to a group of donors. Even Superman became weak and vulnerable when exposed to kryptonite, and in Trump's case, the equivalent could be exposure to a political environment in which his 91 percent name ID is "trumped" by voters' decision to finally compare him with other lesser-known candidates."

The skipping stone routine.

But officer, the way I do it is easier on the roadway surface. The wheels are touching pavement only half the time...

With all the recent cries to remove anything remotely Confederate or perceived as racist or insensitive down -

Where is the outrage that a vast majority of public bridges, roads, parks and more in W.V. are named after a Klu Klux Klan recruiter?

YOU ARE SO RIGHT!

I pray every time I cross the Potomac at Williamsport, that bridge just looks like the interstate road should fall into the water!!!

I sure don’t cross with a group of tractor trailers, you can feel it move!
