Re: Another Barge/Bridge Collision

Let’s go with the definition! After all, if we can make up definitions on the fly, we can have a little fun. In the Navy, we call “floors” the “deck” So by the conventional logic that Max has on things carrying cargo, a ferry is actually a barge. Ergo the bridge which carries “cargo” is also a barg...

Re: Another Barge/Bridge Collision

Is it not true? Which part? I remember driving the old 7 mile bridge to Key West in 1970-71. It was very narrow and when a large truck was oncoming, it was also a white knuckler. We did not need carnival rides in that era. We had narrow bridges. The ship that hit the Key Bridge in Baltimore wasn't ...

Re: Another Barge/Bridge Collision

The Baltimore bridge carried a great deal more traffic and was a part of a major harbor area. The Texas bridge not so. Yet it seems odd that both bridges were struck with barges. Yes, that would seem odd - if it was true. Is it not true? Which part? I remember driving the old 7 mile bridge to Key W...

Re: Mennonite Girl ,3, swept over waterfalls,2 years ago,parents now charged

If the family is ex-Mennonite, though, there's no need to add "Mennonite" to the title. Right. Because we can't allow a person to possibly get one detail wrong. But then we go ahead and use hyperbolic language like "salacious." There was nothing sexual about the title. I need mo...

Re: Poll: Who will win 2024 Presidency?

That's because many people (correctly) perceive these trials as being biased, unfair, and basically political show trials. Americans don't like that. Have you been paying any attention to the current trial? Most any other person, after violating their conditions of release in other criminal trials,...
