I’ve been thinking about trusses a lot lately.
By the way, the Willis Tower there in the background was topped out 50 years ago today.

You might want to see a doctor.

@drdrang Do you trusst those trusses? (I’ll see myself out)
@drdrang It’s already been almost 4 times as long since her premiership as her premiership lasted, I think you need to let it go.
@johninfante You may be overestimating my interest in UK politics.
@drdrang Your interest in structural collapses is narrower than I thought. My mistake!
@drdrang A friend of mine literally wrote the book on Chicago bridges - http://pmcbriarty.com/chicago-history/chicago-river-bridges/.
@matt Cool! He probably included this beauty on Cortland Street, which I believe is the first Chicago style bascule bridge.
@drdrang No doubt! The bridge history museum (https://www.bridgehousemuseum.org/) is a cool stop downtown sometime. My favorite though is the railroad bridge still used by Amtrak on the south side (originally part of the old Penn RR) - https://media.gettyimages.com/photos/amtrak-pennsylvania-railroad-lift-bridge-over-the-south-branch-of-the-picture-id508435896. Feels steampunk every time I see it move!
