Just done that and came home via the local butchers, so I have a fridge

It was somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the

Three and a half years is impressive, never mind the three it was
supposed to take.

It's awfully thin, though...

For its height...

On a related topic, someone emailed me a picture of a bridge over an
expanse of water, which turns into a tunnel halfway across. It seems

so built the tunnel sections rather than swing/drawbridges, which
would limit traffic, or a completely different high & wide span, which
would have been much more expensive.

Hmmm, tempting, but on balance I reckon sitting at home supping cold
Kronenbourg 1664 by the pool wins out. Just.
