Good morning, 🐶🐶🐶

5 January 2025

Did you know that the construction of the Golden Gate Bridge began on this day in 1933. It was completed on 19 April 1937. That makes the bridge about 88 years old. I’ve been over and under the bridge, but not in five or six decades. It is golden bridge, across the golden straight, in the golden state. I wonder about the age of such manmade constructions and what it takes to keep them safe. I’d driven across the I35W Mississippi River Bridge in Minneapolis several times a few years ago. It was only about 40 years old when it collapsed a few years later.
