And I owe you an apology as well. I appreciate the kindness coming into this thread.
But I also can't wait to see who it is that gets it riled up next!

Nah, at this point... I'm gonna lay down what I believe, and people will take it or leave it. I'm done with the maliciousness, whether my part or not.

Hey, don't discount the possibility that I'm actually an asshole in the person, writing from a 24 karat gold ("weighted keys? I'll raise you one") from a remote mountaintop mansion on a private island somewhere. I could be lying about being a Bostonian. ...though, some would argue that's reason enough to assume I'm probably an asshole in person.
But yeah, remarkable change in tone in the last few pages.

Speaking of Boston - super horrible situation with the bridge getting taken out by the ship.Hey, don't discount the possibility that I'm actually an asshole in the person, writing from a 24 karat gold ("weighted keys?

I read an article where a couple engineers were saying they believed that the bridge wasn't what it should have been structurally. I've been in construction my entire adult really (still not very long lol), but I imagine it would have been a huge undertaking to update that bridge.
In any event, it'll be a big job (and a LOT of money for a company) to rebuild it.

Massholes get so few well wishes, let me have this!
But yeah, what a mercy that it happened at 1am when almost no one was on the bridge.

I read there were 7 people / cars who ended up in the water, but still a relative "count your blessings" moment compared to the alternative, I suppose.
And here we have an actual moment for the construction experts to shine - could a bridge like that ever really be expected to sustain a head-on collision from a cargo ship? I would have guess a bridge is typically designed to withstand certain kinds of extreme weather and some small impacts, but a cargo ship has got to be an unimaginable amount of force to sustain.

I can't imagine what COULD, but I am absolutely not an expert.

Hey, we're in the middle of a period of goodwill here. I vote Maryland is CLOSE ENOUGH for this explanation to be valid.
