For those who don't know what I am talking about, the 11'8" has been the nemesis for tall trucks for a long time. A guy with an office across from the bridge set up web cams and has a YouTube channel with the crashes that ensue.









As one comment on YouTube said:


It has saved at least one truck from serious damage:


But not some furniture:

Kind of neat - I'm glad they are not being thrown out. I just wish they wouldn't take my partly used bar when I am staying another night or two.

Started out after lunch making a pecan pie to give to friends. Then separated six eggs to use the yolks for two key lime pies to take to the family do tomorrow. Then separated two more eggs since my recipe for meringue cookies calls for 4 egg whites and I made two batches - one with peppermint swirl chips and one with mint and dark chocolate chips.

Then used the one egg whose yolk broke while separating eggs, the two extra egg yolks and another egg to make a quiche using chanterelle mushrooms off our farm, bacon, onion, and sour cream.

Then, since the meringue cookies were still a bit sticky, I put them back in for another hour - the instructions say to bake for 90 minutes at 225 F. Now each batch has been baked for 2 and a half hours, and one batch is in for yet another hour.

Everything so far tastes great - but damn this is a lot of work! And I am not even cooking any of the main dishes, just desserts.

Eventually, I need to host one of the holiday dinners at my house and I am dreading it. I don't entertain and am not used to planning meals for more than two people. The idea of planning a meal for 20 or more is terrifying to me!

I'm stuck with two horrifically bad Republicans for the senators in my state - Marco Rubio and Rick Scott.

I know if I call and tell them to impeach the mother fucker or to find the mother fucker guilty and remove him from office, they will not listen. So I called and was all concerned about Mitch McConnell is blocking a real trial and is talking about not allowing witnesses. That in that case Mr. Trump will not be able to ever remove this cloud over his administration and that it will be very bad for the Republican Party.

Now, if his office people do their due diligence and check my phone number, then check the voter database, they will find out that I am a life long Democratic Party member and that I have volunteered for Democratic candidates in the past.

I'm just hoping that they will not do that and take my words as the concern of an American for the lack of due process that McConnell is talking about.

It can be understood through tough thorough thought, though.
