Re: St Joseph, Mi Swing Bridge Going Remote

I just searched the Federal Register. There were no entries regarding remote operation of that bridge.

Re: DaveO builds an empire

my empire is no longer a sea of lush green. it's now a brown barren wasteland.
I could watch the eclipse or watch paint dry. I'm choosing eclipse of course. from home.

Hope everyone wanting to see the eclipse are rewarded with a good view.
temperature is cooperating nicely.

David I hope with the passage of these hours that her condition has improved.
One of the best things you can do for her is take care of yourself.
