The only silver lining is this didn’t happen at a high traffic volume period. Early reports are, of course, still sketchy, but it seems the ship lost propulsion, and a Mayday call was made not long before the collision.
So sad what happened in the Baltimore area this morning (a freight ship hit the Francis Scott Key Bridge, causing the structure to collapse). RIP, innocent victims.
I wish I could remember the film where one character is ranting about the mismatch in quantity between hot dogs, and rolls. Funny stuff. Might have been Steve Martin, in the remake of Father Of The Bride, come to think of it.
Haven’t seen it, but will likely get this one. I bought Matewan Criterion a while ago, but haven’t gotten around to watching it- never saw this one either. Hopefully Sunshine State eventually comes out- really like this one.
Just discovered this morning that the packaging for my now favorite nibbling snack while driving (Blue Diamond almonds) has shrunk from 16 ounces to 14. Crazy inflation. 🙁
Beaverdam Ohio (2 hours north of Cincinnati) got a coating to an inch overnight. Dayton on south didn’t get any- thank goodness, because it made my going home easier. 😁
I’m pretty sure I’m on my 9th repair shop visit in the last 3 weeks, with our company trailers. My dispatchers claim the other drivers maintain this beaten up junk, but I find that hard to believe. I’m much more than annoyed- my blood pressure is likely at stroke level. 😡
I saw that the Kentucky Wildcats lost in their first tournament game yesterday- got beat by a 14 seed. Calipari’s teams have gotten past the first round just once in the last 4 years. I haven’t been following this stuff the way I used to- has NIL, in some way, adversely affected his recruiting...
Road crews doing macadam patches during the day, tying up traffic. Why can’t they do this shit at night, when traffic is decreased?
I wouldn’t put it past some genius to schedule farting around with this stuff on Monday, April 8th (almost positive that’s when the total solar eclipse is supposed...
Good deal that you are able to park the car in the Wintertime- maybe you can delay rust.
I don’t drive my backup car (2015 Charger) in the snow, or if I know any of that liquid ice melt is on the roads.
As for repairs, I just let my Chrysler dealership do whatever service my cars need, don’t...
Nobody won last night’s Mega Millions, so it will be about a billion dollar jackpot for Friday’s drawing. I play the same group of numbers for every MM drawing- on just one chance. I do occasionally buy a $5 scratcher- that’s my limit of purchase- I don’t do any of the $20 games. I did win $20...
My take on Pickett when I watched him play in a small sample size was he wasn’t a physically talented QB. The Steelers did the right thing by getting rid of all their QBs.
I saw this film once, forever ago. The only thing I can really remember from it is a hilarious tracking shot, showing a phone cord coming out of a wall. There’s a loop in the cord, and the camera follows around the loop. Unnecessary, but funny.
Newly built roads that are horribly antiquated when they open. Just north of Cincinnati, there is a brand new off ramp from I-75 south that feeds into I-74 west. When they get everything finished in this spot, it will be better and safer- the new ramp itself is much better than what they had...
