    No a fuckton is a unit of force

    Probably was it. It was about '92 when I was there.

    The Angels are headed there tonight. That franchise does not need another tragedy.

    I have vertigo and I was scared to death to drive the bridge that is above Hoover Dam. But it only took about 8 seconds before I could breathe again.

    Glad I got my new truck in last week. With all the delays they've already been having, it's about to get much worse.

    New car inventory has been plentiful for awhile now, especially for EVs, which have been backing up on lots as demand has slowed.

    You are either talking about the Ravenel Bridge - which replaced the old Cooper River Bridge - or the Holt Bridge up north near Daniel Island.
    The Holt Bridge is crazy steep. The Ravenel Bridge is super long. It's awesome to walk across it and sit on the benches at the top.

    Not for new '24 Toyota Tacomas, which have just started to hit the road because of various reasons - including transport - or Ford Rangers, which still aren't out.

    I think the tennis complex was on the right as we crossed it heading toward IOP. I'll check the atlas.

    Had no problems at all with the causeway from Mt. Pleasant to IOP. Bridges just freak me out a little bit still.

    It has been a long time, but I've been on that bridge connecting to Isle of Palms many times and it was never comfortable. The scary thing about the old Tappan Zee was knowing it was falling apart and they had patched parts of it before finally replacing it. It wasn't out of the question that a section might just fall out from under your car.

    A Cargo Ship Just Took Out a Bridge. Hear How That's Bad News for the Democrats.

    First things first. Everyone on that ship pees in a cup. SOP, except perhaps where foreign crew are concerned. All Indian crew. EDIT: 10,000 TEUs capacity (twenty foot equivalent units, standard measure.

    This happened in San Francisco some years ago, a boxship crashed into wood fenders of the Golden Gate bridge. Minor damage, no injuries.

    NTSB is investigating. There will be pee tests.
