This is what happens when you combine good engineering, project management, prep work, planning, funding, & solid execution. It’s an AND statement - skimp on any one & there are problems. But wow, just wow when you get it right. What a treat to watch those Dutch.

How the Dutch build a tunnel under a highway in one weekend

It is a target rich environment this year, but I say that Brett Farve is #SportsJerk2022

@amergina That’s better than what a guy I knew in Grad school did. He had a monkey plush toy for his dog to chew on. He also had an infant in the house at the time. Training your dog to chew on a small primate is not a good idea. Stick with a bone or something

@amergina You looked good. You looked like my beloved sibling & you did it with style & class.

@duty2warn What he did w/ the adulterous woman (John 8): He didn’t declare adultery OK, but rejected harsh punishment in favor of giving her a chance to stop sinning & turn to God. He would show that mercy & compassion is the way to heaven, not uncompromising, rule based self-righteousness

@SheDidWhatPGH The other bridge that could be renamed for Franco Harris is the Smithfield Street bridge. The lenticular truss structures look like a footballs. The big man needs a big bridge. #FrankoHarrisBridge

I think I will stay on twitter until the bitter end. I’m going to ride this bomb right into the ground like Slim Pickens as Major Kong at the end of Dr. Strangelove. Weeeeeee Hoooooo! Weeeeeee Hooooooo! If I have to pay to stay, I will #DeleteTwitter

@MGScapellato @905wesa Thanks for keeping us informed with news & information that we can trust is truthful & accurate. Real journalists are harder to come by these days. People passing opinion off as news are a dime a dozen. That’s why I support @NPR in general & @905wesa in specific

[David Kopchik @dkopchik]

@amergina Perhaps, but any new ‘brilliant’ ideas he has will have to be financed by selling his stock. I don’t think banks or investors will be lining up to loan Elon money without charging a “I got high and overpaid for twitter, then destroyed it’ premium that he may not want to pay

@wqed I grew up north of Philly, but my beloved maternal grandparents were just up the street from the Buhn in Marshall-Shadeland. We would visit for the holidays & I have fond memories of the trains & the outstanding paintings, esp. The Rise of Steel Technology.

@mak52 @JLKrupka @astros You could try going down to the Lehigh Valley Mall with a trash can and bang on it with a bat. You might not get a shirt, but you will get some attention. I’m still bitter about the degradation to the game. I don’t like cheaters.

[David Kopchik @dkopchik]

@daveman1010220 Keep me posted as to where you wind up. I’m also leaving soon. It’s like a party where you know it’s time to leave. You’ve been drinking water or pop, but you want to see what happens to those who are still drinking hard. Train wreck + schadenfreude = fun

I will miss twitter, but I suspect that it is about to turn into a cesspool of disinformation, hate, & cruelty. I will miss the videos from @buitengebieden & posts by @LakotaMan1. However, if using twitter just makes me angry, or makes #MoskvaMusk $$$ then it is not healthy.

[David Kopchik @dkopchik]

I am a real person who follows Lakota Man because he helps fill in missing education about the indigenous people of America. The contributions from and damage to the descendants of continent’s original population was not covered in History class, perhaps intentionally so

[Lakota Man @LakotaMan1]

A MAGA just told me that my non-Native alliance are bots. Let’s prove him wrong — where are my allies at?

[David Kopchik @dkopchik]

There are Wegmans in the Lehigh Valley. We used to go there for lunch when I worked in Bethlehem & I miss that. I still shop there as I pass through on the way back to the Poconos. They have great seltzer flavors. It’s a nice compliment to Trader Joe’s & Aldi. Not overrated

What a great day to be a lettuce

[David Kopchik @dkopchik]

This is an old trick & one that is used in Russia as well.

@joeybagovdonuts A Tesla from Moskva Musk… but seriously, I would not go to Disney in FL. I’d rather see the Everglades while I still can.

@MadScientistFF I am not from #Chicago, and even I know that Ketchup does not belong on a hotdog. Mustard & dill relish are placed on top of the hotdog. Never, ever on the bun unless you want to be strapped to the outside of a train & run around the loop until you come to your senses.
