Well this mornings news said that all the bridges and overpasses in this state are going to be inspected. Ernie knows about the Pit River Bridge and it was a 5 on a scale of 1 to 10 and they are spending 2 years repairing it to keep it from falling and taking the railroad into the lake with it. I believe the report said that over 90% of the bridges and overpasses inspected are very low on the scale, but there is no danger of them falling. Now watch two or three of them collapse within the next month. But they claim that our bridges are stronger as they are built to modern earthquake standards. Even so, many were built before the newest laws and a rating of 4 out of 10 with 10being top does not give me a lot of confidence.
