it is truly shocking that i have never thought about getting a manatee tattoo. now ill add that to my list of possible ideas for ever getting inked. they now include manatee, old eagles logo, phish logo, or that ben franklin snake.

So you want a birth control tattoo?
Nothing will get a pair of knees together than a chick seeing one of those.

Just sayin.

I was chatting with someone about how scary the Pulaski Skyway in NJ was, and while looking it up online, I came across this article. Have any of you driven over any of these?
5 Bridges MUCH SCARIER to Drive Than the OBX Oregon Inlet Bridge | PlayBuzz

I've always wanted to go on the Royal Gorge Bridge in a car.

This bridge was scary leaving Charleston, SC going north on US 17

This bridge is not fun in a truck, especially when the winds pick up

Chesapeake Bay Bridge–Tunnel - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The US 62 bridge that crosses the Ohio River from Illinois to Kentucky is not fun, either

Cairo Ohio River Bridge - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

One bridge I've never crossed, but I've always wanted to, is the Mackinac Bridge, from Michigan's upper peninsula to the main part of Michigan

I've never driven over those, but those 5 stack interchanges in Texas can be a bit unnerving.

ive never been on a scary bridge but the "7 mile bridge" on the way into the florida keys is amazing and super beautiful.

I climbed this bridge back in College.

The ladders to the inspection catwalks weren't locked. I guess they figured that it was too much of a hike to get to the bottom of the valley to get to them that idiot students wouldn't make the climb.

Suckers.

I got to take a tour of the Toledo Veterans Skyway Bridge while it was under construction. It was about at this stage of construction. We got to go inside the bridge deck and check that stuff out. Pretty cool.

Indeed.
The first one was far from a smart idea.
Fun as hell, not too unsafe, but still far from smart.

The second was very safe, and very cool to be inside something most people won't see let alone get to be in........ That just sounds wrong...... But it still works....

came across this neat infographic.

i may have missed a state or 2 but a quick glance says that connecticut is the richest. no surprise to me that CT is rich, all the wealthy ny'ers have nice spots there but i am a bit surprised about hawaii. i thought that them as a rich state. i would have guessed alaska or nebraska to be worse off.

That's a surprise in Hawaii. Most everything there coats more than it does in the US mainland, & lots of rich people own land in Hawaii.

Kim Nabors made quite a bit of money in Hawaii
