My husband used to tell friends visiting from out of town that the Norfolk tunnel only leaked occasionally.

Well, now I can add spans to my list of things I fear. Thanks, Rachel!

Granny, you're insane. I'll blame the artifical sweetener.

But what's worse than the Bonnette Carre Spillway is the stretch of I-10 between New Orleans East and Biloxi! Much of it goes over the lake. Katrina destroyed half of it and it took 6 months to get it open again.

That stretch between B.R. and New Orleans isn't technically a bridge. It's the Bonnette Carre Spillway and you're on the edge of Lake Pontchartrain. And, uhm, alligators DO get up there. Nobody knows exactly how they do it but it happens every couple of years.

If you don't like that span, stay off the Atchafalaya Basin Bridge (18 miles long between Breaux Bridge and B.R.) and never get on the Pontchartrain Causeway. 26 miles long and you can't see land from the middle of it. It's also the longest toll bridge in the country.

Well, chicky, I've gone parasailing and I'll tell you what. It was awesome. so quiet and peaceful. Peaceful when I wasn't looking at that knot. you see, I had this amazing harness on, a life jacket, a parachute above me. But it all depended on that one little knot.
A knot in nylon rope. don't those kind of knots slip?
anyway, It was fun. Oh it was 1200 feet up too. But I'm old and I can afford to take chances.
God kept the knot together and I think I'd do it again.
