KOOK OF THE DAY!!!!
on this day in 2004 the Millau Viaduct; the tallest vehicular bridge in the world, located in southern France, was opened to traffic.
The Millau Viaduct (French: le Viaduc de Millau) is a large cable-stayed road-bridge that spans the valley of the River Tarn near Millau in southern France. Designed by the structural engineer Michel Virlogeux and British architect Norman Foster, it is the tallest vehicular bridge in the world, with one mast's summit at 343 metres (1,125 ft) — slightly taller than the Eiffel Tower and only 38 m (125 ft) shorter than the Empire State Building. The viaduct is part of the A75-A71 autoroute axis from Paris to Béziers. It was formally dedicated on 14 December 2004, inaugurated the day after and opened to traffic two days later. The bridge won the 2006 IABSE Outstanding Structure Award.

Grrrrrr.... School let out at 12:30. I should have bet money on that. The main highways here have one snowless lane, everything else is covered. We have about 5 inches, and it's still coming down but seems to be letting up a bit.
Fortunately, my employer is understanding, and I can work remotely from home as long as I don't have a bunch of meetings.
Hey Randy, that Mustang looks pretty nice!
Great kook Dallas, I'd love to see that bridge in person, too cool!
