    Life is a balancing act, enjoy every day, "later" will come sooner than you think. Denying yourself joy now betting you will have health and money to enjoy life later is a bad bet.

      A photo came to mind as soon as I saw the "End Of THe Road" theme.
      But then I see Rich's pic is a lot like the pic I had in mind.

      So... look for another....

      Here is another pic......

      THis is the end of the road for several minutes anyway.



      Why have a draw bridge on a state highway? (more specifically: "bascule" bridge).
      Well, original design, (late 1950s) it wasnt.
      But during construction then they found the "bedrock" was a lot lower than was used in the original design. ANd then they found was easier to have the bridge lower & convert the design to a bascule bridge, than it was to have taller bridge support structure produced.

      ANd now, there isnt any commercial shipping on the river there anymore, so when the bridge opens (which during summer is often), its for personal sail boats. So all the people getting stopped on the state highway knows it is for some person in thier pleasure craft.

              Gotta vote for Mr 650Skull this week. Dorkburger is a very close second.
