Now this I didn't know
Aug. 4th, 2007 01:58 amHorrible bridges in Georgia.
One in Smyrna rated a 3.3 out of 100! And everyone is whining about the 50 out of 100 the Minneapolis bridge got.
and "At least 18 bridges in metro Atlanta fell into such poor shape that they scored under 10, according to 2006 data"
Yesterday, I'm not sure if I can find it again but I might try, I read a report that Georgia is one of the few states NOT ordering bridge evaluation in light of the tragedy.
Bloody hell. I mean I'm not all for running around like idiots after a big emergency, but geeze a 3.3 out of 100.

Date: 2007-08-05 05:25 am (UTC)BTW, so you know where I can get any info on the affects of binding and athletic activity? I am particularly interested in maybe finding a FtM hiker that can give me some info, but for some reason I'm guessing that isn't likely to find. And do you have any of the underworks gear or know anyone that does?
