Re: Another Barge/Bridge Collision

I guess we could say that the Dali barged into the bridge. Indeed and rightly so since it was not under power at the time it rammed the Key Bridge. There is the Truth of God and secular “truths”. Those who spend hours quibbling and arguing about minutiae of secular activities may find themselves in...

Re: Another Barge/Bridge Collision

The ship that hit the Key Bridge in Baltimore wasn't a barge. In my lexicon, anything that carries cargo above decks falls into the category of barge. Parsing of terminologies can run into interesting exchanges. Time to get a new lexicon. Also, btw it's not at all surprising that it's the "thi...

Re: Church Government Models

The topic is interesting to be sure but it can only be addressed by personal opinions and perspectives, none of which are absolutes. Does this promote the Gospel when we debate in circles and past each other? I find it preferable to address effective means to spread the Gospel. God is quite adaptabl...

Re: Another Barge/Bridge Collision

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 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 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.

That resembles a part of the crank assembly used to start the early autos. Wind it up, hop in and go … hopefully. Push button and key starters are much less strenuous.
