Danger - Bridge Out!

Last night they closed the 520 bridge, a major east-west artery, at rush hour. Here's an..er.."official" explanation for the closing: "The bridge was closed about 5:10 p.m. after workers inspecting it discovered a damaged bolt connected to a trunnion beam...trunnion beams stabilize the bridge's draw spans. The bolt in question attached the trunnion beam to the guide-roller assembly." What a load of twaddle. The guy sounds like Professor Frink on "The Simpsons", trying to explain something or other:" And the fribjoy is frenazzled to the groinjak, and babble, babble, babble...." They've been trying to get us to buy a new bridge, and we say, let Microsoft and the Eastsiders pay for it. It's their workers who use it the most.
