The Bridge to nowhere

Well   we are 2 weeks into the Rt90 bridge  closure ... They  ( whoever they is? )  said it would be a 8 week closure    or that it would be opened by Christmas..   Lets hope sooner than later  and the weather may play a big part of it.  I know that many businesses in mid-town OC  are really hurting.  I live in the middle of Bville and I really have to plan my days before I venture out.  There have been a few days  where I just stayed home . What took me 12 minutes to get to the gym at 60th street  now takes me 29 min. via northern route  down Rt 54  and entering north OC ..  I have noticed my gas expenses have increased. But  we  do need to get the fix done.  I am predicting  that once this bridge is done   they will close the 2nd bridge heading to Ocean Pines..Both structures were built in 1972   so it just figures that both would have the same  wear and tear..  and if that is not enough..   get ready for lane closures on Coastal Hwy. for sewer pipe repairs for like a 30 block stretch......  That will last into the spring  from what I have read.        Maybe a hibernation until April would be a good idea  now.!!    Ahhhh   it's all good.  At least I get to ride by Harris Teeter everyday and eat good..
Better than dealing with the beltway boobs  and their headaches on a daily basis..
Good bye October    Hello November..  4 more months of winter ... But the NFL will really be heating up!!!
