Everybody knows that you shouldn't stop on Donner Summit in the winter when it's snowing. Here's why you shouldn't stop in the summer either: Attach file:  ATT00004.jpg (0.00 KB) |

Must be looking for a picnic basket! Reminds me, my late brother always made reservations under the name "Donner" so they'd holler for the Donner party when his table was ready.

He totally lost his bearings. How did they get him out of the net?

I worked in a prestress plant right out of high school ( so I could buy a C2 before starting college). Drove the mixers, cranes, forklifts. They made big stuff, 8ft wide double Ts, 40 ft long, etc. |

The new I355 extension here has a lot of pre-cast in the elevated portion, about a mile long. It's impressive. In '74-'75 I worked on Water Tower Place, at the time the worlds tallest reinforced concrete building (75 stories). The grand staircase went up 2 floors, stairs, planter boxes, 4 escalators, waterfalls, covered in marble, all formed up in concrete. I was the apprentice. That was something. I have pics. somewhere.

Let me bear witness that those were some terrible puns. But fur what it's worth, I'm glad he is ok.

Bears are really beautiful creatures as long as they're not gnawing on your neck or trying to break into your house. I have a friend that lives on Kodiak Island in Alaska. He has a hunting camp. I've seen the damage they can do. He has also shot and killed a world record bear on the island. That sucka was a monster. He invited me to stay there. He would have picked me up from the local airport with his seaplane. I never went. It was just a little too wild for me.
