Thanks for the interesting article about Kate Shelley- it's been a while since I've read it. The original bridge was really impressive- it spanned a whole valley and crossed a river. Been up there many times-
I'm surprised RN beat out Blogger.
Kate Shelley deserved all the recognition, but I can't understand the logic in giving a gold medal to a poor person anytime. Must be frustrating to gaze at a gold medal when you can't afford food/clothing/shelter/alcohol.
So Moore says I can't invite Lola to Lollapalooza unless I hire someone to tickle me. Prostitutes won't work as they only tickle my fancy, and anyone else would probably report me to the authorities for asking.
I'm tempted to 'miss' scanning one or two things every time I'm at the grocery store and am forced to use the self-serve scanners. I mean, if I'm going to do the work instead of one of their employees, I should either get paid for it or receive an employee discount, right?

If one happens to be in the Boone area, take some time to ride the Boone Valley Scenic Railroad.
Another interesting side trip would be to Madrid, IA (about 20 miles south) to view the Madrid High Trestle on the High Trestle Bicycle Trail, which lets cyclists and pedestrians cross the Des Moines River valley on a specially constructed trestle (which was rebuilt on the original concrete abutments) some 130 feet above the valley floor.
