How Will We Get to Grandma’s House?

Traveling to either grandparents’ home requires an “over the river” (but not “through the woods”) route. The river route of choice is/was the 35W Bridge over the Mississippi. When news first broke last night the kids asked, “How will get to Grandma’s house?” We assured them there is more than one route.

This morning, the Dude shared his thoughts on the bridge collapse. Let’s call it the “gravity theory”. He believes that gravity comes from “the earth” or rock, concrete, and other large solid objects connected to the earth. The Dude argues that removing rock/concrete during construction lessened the gravity on the bridge. That – in combination with the weight of all the vehicles, especially the trucks – caused the collapse.

This is the second or third time that he has presented his “unique” theories on gravity. It’s amazing what he comes up with.
