OK. Loose caliper, spinning wheel, did your hand become "one" with the braking system?

It did.  Fortunately it remained one and did not become two.

I wince at the thought.

I'd like to know who and when was the idea to add concrete abutments to the Key Bridge voted down??? Certainly they must have considered adding extended concrete abutments after the 1980 Florida bridge disaster, and the Skyway Bridge rebuild, completed in 1987.

Remember Talkin' Baseball by Terry Cashman?

Ole Terry couldn't help himself so he recorded one for every team as a cash grab.

The closet thing we have today is ole Lee Greenwood.

Terry Cashman wrote his in 1981 and Lee Greenwood wrote his in 1983.
Something must have been in the air back then.

Definitely must have been something in the air at that time.  Journey sang

Just a city boy
Born and raised in South Detroit
He took the midnight train going anywhere

around that time too.  Maybe he took the train to Sarnia?

A quirk of geography, eh? 

Another happens a little further to the north where the U.S. and Canada split Seaway Island.  The U.S. portion is pretty much sludge that has been dredged up so Canada wins that deal.

During Covid I guess there was some butt hurt as Canada flexed some "muscle"
