    I just drove over it at 77.7K Thursday and it was bumper to bumper trucks going both ways. It's fine.

    We have taken a gratuitous 30 for a Beefaroni and coffee.

    The J in Emporia has 0 food. None. Nada. Another reason friends don't let friends go to Flying J.

    But, seriously, dude.....a bridge built in 1949 wasn't designed for that kind of traffic.
    I guess we shall see, but its gonna be really funny if they have to shut that one down as well.
    Perhaps if they'd let just cars go over 40 it would help.

    Bay Bridge older than that. Brooklyn Bridge well over a 100.

    Well, is it in Memphis?
    So I guess it doesn't matter, does it?

    I have a trailer. Will try to work today.


    I got the property Inspection back. Pretty bad. Electric had double lines into certain circuit breakers, no gfis. I guess that's bad. Couldn't find the sceptic field. If it was upgrading one unit, I would try. But three units, lots of money. Roof leaks in the middle unit. Old metal roof. A couple leaks in the pole bar, which I don't care about. I wonder if you can get property insurance with that electrical setup? Low flow water pressure when multiple faucets are opened. It's only 95k. Water heaters 20 to 30 years old..... But mega millions is $440 million.

    Golden Gate too. And with all the salt air. Continued maintenance makes the difference.
