Been Waiting!!

I'm glad Fancy is happy with her new family!

Janet, I am usually not scared of driving over bridges with cars, but I have a story to share about the first time I ever rode my motorcycle. I was riding around in a parking lot with a couple of other people, and they decided to take me around the city, which I wasn't sure if I was comfortable with yet, but followed anyway. I was doing okay until they decided to make me follow them across the Victoria Bridge

This bridge is the oldest bridge in the city, built in 1907. A few years ago there were studies done on its safety, and I just happened to be working in the lab at the time. We received samples of concrete cores that were taken from the base of the bridge by divers, and I had to take pictures of the samples, and as soon as I saw them decided I was never driving on that bridge again! They were in bad shape. The bridge was closed to traffic but still open to pedestrians. I never heard of any extra work being done on it, but a year or two later it opened to traffic again! This bridge is SO skinny, cars pass within a foot of each other. The spaces on the sides are definitely wide enough to fit a motorcycle through if it happened to slide. I was praying so hard while I was riding across, and by the time it was done my whole body felt like rubber! I was so scared! And I haven't been back on it since!
