It was wall to wall people.

The center arch of the bridge flattened out.

The bridge was swaying side to side.

The bridge engineers almost went into a panic mode, in fear that it could collapse.

I was there. That was a fun day. While I love Texas, and will never move back to California, I do miss the SF Bay Area. Beautiful area....

Thanks for the email. That was a alittle bit different version of the one I saw, but same general principal.

Man, you guys were busy lastnight with the math and all. I was here last night but didnt post much because I was trying to get my d@mn crackberry to download the software to send and receive pic and vid(MMS) texts. I still havent got it to do it. Gets right to the end and says "fatal error" I could have slung it and the d@mn laptop in the yard last night. I'm going to try it again today at work. Have a good one folks.

good morning all!

if it was a full beer fridge it would weigh much more than 400 lbs...

I once lifted and carried 13 cases of bud cans (24 packs) from the pallet to the conveyor belt 8 feet away... I was working at the grocery store with a couple of the football players from my high school and we were always messing around...I also pushed the most metal shopping carts...127!

no wonder my back is screwed up!

weirdest thing is I had a hernia...from coughing, not lifting...bronchitis is a nasty thing...

OK, now I realize some people sell more things than others, and might have the experience to place a better ad than THIS ONE but seriously...




how accurate is the "Fingertip Tread Depth Gauge" - I mean, maybe if the angle was better....
