The #Chesapeakebay Bridge is often called the scariest #bridge in the US. They say that the older eastbound span is particularly frightening. There’s a curve in the road on the ascent to the bridge’s highest point that can make it seem like you’re driving off the edge. The bridge’s highest sections are exposed to the elements and often hit by storms. In bad weather, visibility can be so poor that land is invisible. High winds will shut down the bridge.

Immer mehr Schiffe haben einen Flattner Rotor um Sprit zu sparen. Hier hat die 'Annika Braren' so ein riesen Ding auf der Back stehen. Ich kapier das physikalische Prinzip dahinter nicht. Scheint aber wohl zu funktionieren

#WritersCoffeeClub 16 Apr How present is music
400 years from now there is barely any electricity, so no radio, no TV, no internet
Throughout Wolfland it’s a tradition to have a night out on a Saturday.
In Lancaster, OpenMike runs the Variety Show. Music, dance, songs, comedy skits, etc.
The book is often punctuated with music and song.
The Orchestra of Miss Fortune appears regularly.
Even aboard ship, things stop for 'Saturday night fun night'.
