At Least It Wasn't An Oil Truck -- July 23, 2019




From the article:
Authorities said the total weight of the truck was 43 tons and the bridge had a limit of only 14 tons.
The bridge, built in 1906, was listed on the National Register of Historic Places; over the Goose River, near Northwood, ND.
Police issued the driver of the truck a citation for $11,400 and estimate repairs to the landmark could cost anywhere between $800,000 and $1,000,000.
It was not immediately clear if weight-limit signs were posted.
And folks are in jail in the south for selling a bit of marijuana?

Had this been an oil truck I assume the CEO of the company would be in prison by the end of the day and the company facing a multi-billion-dollar fine.

      I am pre-occupied waiting to hear Mueller's testimony. LOL.

    I for one, would take any bean joke over anything that is said tomorrow.

      Wow, isn't that the truth. I will be avoiding the news cycle for the next five days.
