    The bridge in Corpus has always freaked me out. I used to like going over it as a kid but somewhere along the way, not so much.

    I once walked across the bridge over the Royal Gorge as a teenager and that's freaky as hell for somebody with a fear of heights like me. I could see through the slats all the way down, IIRC. I off-handedly said to my dad that it would really suck to be a bird who was afraid of heights (there were a bunch of birds flying around up there). Anyway, my dad took that kernel of wisdom and has written a series of children's books about a bird who is afraid of heights. (Still waiting for the family to get rich off those -- oh well ...)

    Kinda cool story about your dad.

    Yeah, obviously first thought it with the lives lost. But beyond that, this seems like it is going to fuck up the Baltimore area pretty good, and for quite a while. I assume the port is completely closed until the debris can be cleared, which will take what, weeks? Rebuilding the bridge will take years. Looking at Google Maps, just across the bridge are a bunch of warehouses and distribution centers - Amazon, Fedex, Home Depot, looks like a big VW entry point. A lot of economically important traffic must flow over this bridge every single day.

    Capt. Pablo down in Boquillas should move his operation NE.  Would do quite well in a short amount of time.

    Recent renewal info for anyone that wants the datapoint. 
     

    state department received my renewal paperwork 2/28. New passport in my mailbox 3/20. I did not do anything expedited, as it was set to expire in August. 
     

    they are turning them out quick currently.

    Sent  my wife and I at the same time 3 weeks ago.   Two separate envelope packets.   Both my new passport and old one have already arrived.   She received a letter that her payment was denied do to non existent checking account.   Idiots... the checks were wrote from the same account.   Now starting the process over SMGDH
