The Sum Of All Irrational Fears Department
Spring has arrived in the upper Great Plains, and you know what that means: You can't go anywhere without encountering road construction. Dearest Wife and I were running some errands last night, and had to cross one of the I-29 overpasses, currently being let out to accomodate another lane. The whole idea of driving over (or under) a bridge while someone is using a mega-jackhammer mounted on an excavator to break the guard rail into large Chunks-o-Rubble(TM) was just a tad unnerving.
But then, I'm the guy who doesn't like driving under a railroad bridge if there's a stationary train on it. Doesn't bother me in the least if it's moving--the faster the better. But if it's sitting still, why, it might just tip over, like a bicycle.
