What a beautiful day. I can hear the sounds of the new bridge construction going on from here at the house. I asked someone at the site today about their timetable considering all the good weather they have had this past winter. He told me that they might be ahead now but that will not necessarily mean a quick completion of the project. This is due, he explained, to the need they have to do some work in the river itself. They do not have a permit to work in the river until sometime in June, so even if the work may be ahead of schedule now, he cautioned that the completion date may be far off. It looks as though they are readying for more (cement) pouring. I won't probably be here when it is finished.
