The bridge is open!
COLUMBUS – Amidst no fanfare, the East River bridge on Highway 90 in Columbus is fi nally open. What took over three years was the bridge that initially looked like a carnival ride and lawsuits later opened with neither a hill to climb nor a ride to ride. At first, when the beams were placed on top of the pillars, the beams looked like the hills of Fredricksburg. The beams were manufactured with slopes that did not fit. Even after all the beams were installed, numerous fail-safes were overlooked, and it was apparent they were not designed and manufactured correctly. 01/18/2023 23:00

Road Time
Road Time
The road hummed under the car tires. David Morris, Rusty Klaus, and I were on a road trip. For them it was a site-seeing tour. For me it was a small step for mankind but a major step for Herman Willie. The plan was mine. We were headed to northern Montana. The Texas Aggie spring semester was done and my buddies were taking two weeks to lollygag before spending the rest of the summer at hard labor. My personal agenda required me to leave Aggieland (TAMU) early and take a job with an oil patch lease service. 01/18/2023 23:00
