Take a Dump In Your Pants If You Have To!

It's a brave man who would do such a thing to save a dog.

Here's a little-known fact: My grandparents lived in Seattle and were neighbors/friends with the insurance agent that had written the policy on the Narrows bridge. When the bridge failed and the state went to collect on the policy and get the ball rolling on reconstruction, it turned out that since (at the time) it was considered the most modern, well-designed suspension bridge in the world, the agent had made the desision to not tell his superiors that he had written the policy and had been pocketing th premiums. The company was forced to honor the policy, as the state had all of the properly signed and notarized policy documents, but I guess they were pretty unhappy with their agent. I do not know what, if anything happened to him punishment-wise as a result.

If Kansai Airport is 2.5 miles long, it must be at least that far from shore.

Its interesting that the picture on the post is of a Washington Bridge. Last night we just had a bridge that connects Burlington and Mt Vernon in WA collapse. Awesome thing about it is that its the I-5 bridge and if you live on the West coast you are probably familiar with this little stretch of road. A popular theory is that a semi-truck might have hit it. All four lanes and 3 cars went in the water but no fatalities.

I'm not sure that learning to "overbudget" is a good lesson to take away from anything. Maybe to budget correctly from the start would be a better way of putting that?

I'm not sure how someone gets away with summarizing an article with the words: stiff, wood, and vibrate in the same sentence! haha
