Why does the dateline seem to read "Friday, May 24, 2041"? That date actually *is* a Friday, but I suspect no time machines were involved. Also, the Santa Barbara News-Press doesn't have that article in its archive, and the picture seems to be of the I-5 bridge collapse over the Skagit River in Mount Vernon, Wash.
