    And the sergeant told us to get in road step vs cadence to cross the little creek on way to bivouac at Ft Chaffee. Who knew???

    I am going to need some counseling, maybe medication, and time to heal as a result of the atrocity I just witnessed. I went in the peelot to grab a soda, and there was a lady in Subway enjoying her freshly warmed Cinnabon. She looked well pleased with herself, and content with the sweet savory carb loaded treat before her. However! As I thought of how good such a treat might be, it happened. This woman; nay, this soulless bag of meat unworthy of the title human, she threw away the center of the roll!

    How dare we allow such behavior in a civilized society!?!?

    And you didn’t stop her?

    I can’t say much..
    Ole lady won’t eat the outside of anything, throws the crust of bread away too.
    I just tell her she’s spoiled.

    I understand bridge law is about spreading weight over distance.
    At a certain point, does another axle within the same overall distance actually do anything significant?

    I was too shocked to do anything, had she thrown away the sad flavorless outer edges of the treat I wouldn't have minded. To throw away the final bite, where all of the perfect symbol of God's love in pastry form dwells though, I need time to dwell on the state of society.

    A sharp eye would have seen where it was going...A quicker hand would have intercepted its travel..

    Good God what is that driver hauling! At 9 axles it must be wicked heavy!

    I can see how with limited changes in angle, ie Interstate travel, this configuration or more axles would limit roadway damage. What I question though is upon exiting the lanes of travel for delivery, fuel, etc.. wouldn't the damage done during turns be more damaging than the typical dual axles setup?
