Gah!
I took another look at the bridge on my way home today (yesterday). At first glance, I was shocked- not only was the railing totalled, metal struts and all- but one of the lamp posts had been annihilated as well! If it wasn't a tree, what was it? Then I took another look and realized that it WAS a tree that had mauled the bridge... several trees, in fact, and big ones at that. Check out the far bank on the left side to see what did the damage. Yowzah.

Strangely, I've been seeing pregnant women all day. And really fuckin HUGE ones, to boot! Maybe it's the nice weather that's brought them out but it sure seemed that the whole damn world was pregnant all of a sudden. Ah, spring.... Well, lemme tell ya, nothing turns me on to the birds and bees like swollen, distended bellies hanging from clothing! I like children and I even enjoy the idea of pregnancy but I swear to god that *I* could have fit in some of these womens' bellies. Several of them were walking about with their shirts unbuttoned from their fronts, lumpy protrusions free to the air. Granted, I don't find this offensive... it was just... gah ... gah... it makes me do a real double take. I forget that skin can get so... taut... big... weird.... gah....
