Default SF bay bridge melt down

Not sure if you've heard, but some damn trucker was apparently speeding and
melted part of the bridge after a crash.

Thanks Scotty. We don't need jihadists, we have truckers. g

It was even on local news channels here. I think everyone in Paris and
Moscow knows about it, too.

What are the quarter million BA residents going to do to get across the bay
now? The GG won't accommodate that much additional traffic, not to mention
the nasty, round-about route the commuters will have to take to get to
downtown SF or Berkley.

BART (rail system not Bart the sailor) is free for a while.

If you don't mind waiting for a couple of hours, not to mention not having
your car at the other end. Today CNN reported that the BART (I know it's
the Bay Area Rapid Transit) had delays of over two hours on average.

The intense magnetic fields generated by the Bart trains and system are a
known health hazard especially to its riders. The fields can be measured
several miles away from any train or track. Do not ride the system!

BART linked to global warming by altering the earth's geomagnetic field:

I don't know. I'll be checking it out tomorrow.. but I take it from the end
of the line, so there'll be plenty of seats when I get on.

They'll just have a gay parade!

Or a sanctuary for illegal invaders!

Or a check from the taxpayers to every bum!

They only problem with the truck driver is that he didn't burn down enough
of the place.
