      Speaking of bridges, the worst one I have ever seen was this baby:

      I almost went into the water because a pothole practically sent me airborne.

              Very bad. It was gridlock in all directions all around the 85 / Buford Hwy corridor. The stuff of nightmares.

                Dammit, we didn't make it there last time. Maybe we will stop by next time.

                  It's not anything special to me, but then I was born and raised in that area too. I've been to other zoos I guess none of them ever were quite that good but only a couple zoos

                        Oh look, covering up government corruption takes precedence over protecting children. No surprise there.

                            Actually, the problem here is that introducing this information as evidence would negate the counts anyway because the defendant could argue that the material was placed there with fake timestamps and such.

                            So there is nothing about protecting any children. That is not what this was about.

                            These Playpen busts are all most likely going to get thrown out because of this.

                                Market valuation is big, but Tesla is barely stable. Ford is much more stable in their $46bn.

                                Not saying Ford is great or I am a fan of their stuff, just saying that market valuations are not much of a mark and highly unstable.

                                            That 9 year old knew what was best, just stay quiet, things don't get worse when mom is shouting for you. . . .

                                            Just stay quiet, it'll all blow over...
