Crossing the Hoan Bridge

Since we live in Bayview, we end up using the Hoan Bridge quite a bit. It is a cool bridge that has a lot more history than i realized. I had always recalled hearing the Hoan called "The Bridge to Nowhere" (immediately causing the Talking Heads song "Road To Nowhere" to nestle into my brain), but i didn't really know the full story. While searching around for the proper spelling of the Hoan (Hohne? Hohn? Hone?) i came across a more elaborate history of the Hoan Bridge at the Wisconsin Highways web site. Pretty neat stuff. I had always thought that the bridge was only completed in the 21st century, but I was wrong. A section collapsed and was brought down for repairs in late 2000. Crazy!



I snapped these two shots off the bridge on a recent trip to the park with the girls. Ya gotta love the Holga + really old neg film + brilliant blue + good scanner combination.

Cleaning up a bit

ok. time to turn my blog back into something useful. Links are now going to be excluded from the front page as full blown entries. I think i will take advantage of the JSON interfaces that Delicious offers and try my hand at some of that javascript the kids won't shut up about.

Ok, that's it for the "Post where blogger writes about all the crap they won't actually get around to." Those of you who know me get enough of that from listening to me in person.
