Notice those signs that say '55 MPH' right there? If you don't do at least 70 in that tunnel, horns will start blowing.

Put the brain away and accept the disinformation that is being broadcast.
Well, Good Morning, Sunshine!

Oh ok thanks. :)
Wow that was an ugly mess. Thanks for the pic.
I will have to catch up on the news, work today and birthday party tonight. I will miss the first half of the race. :(
>>I will miss the first half of the race. :( <<
Oh, no! I am looking forward to the pre-race conversation about the immunization brough-ha. I’ll try to tape it and type it out for the thread, today.
See ya at the race! (The last half. I’ll save you a seat!)

Good afternoon, Darling
It’s morning SOMEWHERE in the world, isn’t it? :)
Thanks :)

Look at the 7th photo
Of course, the Middle East.
LOL!
I have it right here, in the shipping case.
Such a sad story for that family.
“Steel can’t melt inside of concrete unless the concrete is red.”
The concrete explodes under the intense heat and exposes the rebar.
About half the tiltups that are involved in fires cant be saved because of it.
It was under construction then I think. I was living in Santa Clarita. That earthquake scared the heck out of me.
It’ll be like that for a week before people determine what the problem is.
Watch the evening news, read the paper, who me? I don’t have time for that kind of stuff..
