There's probably a bunch in Cheyenne, Wyoming that needs rediscovered, but the biggest, most obvious, example I can think of is this Railway bridge, probably built as part of the Lincoln Highway. Around the corner of Lincolnway (old highway 30) and Westland Road.

It's fairly generic except it has large fans on both concrete pillars.

That is pretty great. The overpass on Happy Jack Road looks so basic down the rails a bit.

Postcards from Snagglepuss

Some notes heading into summertime

OVER LUNCH AT SOME OLD-SCHOOL DINER IN BREEZEWOOD, PENNSYLVANIA: In taking our leave of Ocean City, and on accepting an invite from a certain boon companion of Touché Turtle by name of Dum-Dum to join him and Bristlehound for some houseboating on the Mississippi River, yours truly, along with Huckleberry Hound, as well as Touché "himself," took our leave of Ocean City by way of US 50 unto Baltimore by way of the Chesapeake Bay Bridge, and thence on I-70 into this rather crazy crossroads of the Lincoln Highway (as in US 30 in these parts) and the Pennsylvania Turnpike.

In fact, it's on the former that our party of three will be heading out to the Mississippi River for the most part--eventually to come into US 20 through Ohio, Indiana and Illinois, thereby offering a direct (if somewhat out-of-the-way) routing towards Dubuque, Iowa and the Mississippi, whence, it turns out, Dum-Dum is calling us from.

"So how is my devoted Touché Turtle?" asked Dum-Dum in a rather effervescent style, to which the heroic-minded turtle responded, "My apologies if you're catching our company over lunch ... but at any rate, we left Ocean City this morning on our way to the river."

"And did I hear correctly," Dum-Dum remarked, "that those Goofy Guards are pulling off a little fencing exercise in Ocean City?"

"On the Boardwalk there, yes." [Pause] "And for only $20 a pop."

"I can hardly believe it!" was all Dum-Dum could respond.

"Nonetheless," responded I, "we can't wait to be on the river with you and Bristlehound."

"And I hope you can stand small-town tavern fish fry on Friday evenings!" was how Dum-Dum chimed in. This even as we were having chicken-and-stuffing casserole in the Pennsylvania Dutch manner, and rather generous on the portions besides, no skimping!

And even then, Huck was still wondering as to the next ideal Character Convocation, timed to coincide with the July 4th holiday no doubt ... prompting him to suggest no less than Clear Lake, Iowa and their 4th of July celebrations, one of the Midwest's largest such for a small community.

"You still remember that time at the Surf Ballroom in Clear Lake where I crossed paths with the Cattanooga Cats, and we had quite the performance--"

To which Huck remarked, "I assume they're still talking about especially that tribute you and the Cats did there to Buddy Holly, Richie Valens and The Big Bopper."

"Out of sympathy for the Surf being their last performance before that tragic plane crash on February 3, 1959."

"How right you are, Snag ... and I guess it'll be interesting to imagine the Cats as much as The Banana Splits there in Clear Lake as well."

"Not to mention our whole funtastic pantheon."

"At any rate," Huck remarked over dessert, "Clear Lake for the weekend of the 4th 'tis."

"Oh, and let's not forget Peter Potamus' divers; they'll especially find Clear Lake itself worth some diving."

"I never thought of that, Snag."

"Or, as those Cattanooga Cats sang, 'I never knew the way you'd feel.'"

=============

Meanwhile, in deference to the Memorial Day break, next Monday (the 27th) will see no Postcard in this space ... hence, returning on Wednesday the 29th. And at any rate, enjoy what the weekend brings forth.

Historic floods in the Midwest have swamped rivers, and the heat is so intense that even Lincoln melted.

Kathryn Barber stood on a closed section of Iowa Highway 141, marveling at the power of the Little Sioux River floodwaters.

Climate and Average Weather Year Round in Virginia:

The water covered all but the roof of a nearby home. Ball fields, usually desert-dusty during droughts, looked like marinas, with only foul poles and scoreboards visible above the water's surface. Barber and her husband, Bill, live on a nearby bluff and were nervously optimistic their home would survive the floods.

"It's very surreal," Barber said. "It’s hard when you’ve got to leave all your stuff behind. I’m not 100% confident."

For over a week, severe weather, including thunderstorms and flooding, has blasted parts of Iowa, South Dakota, Minnesota, Michigan, Wisconsin, and Nebraska. Major flooding has impacted more than a dozen rivers and nearby communities. One river has partially breached a Minnesota dam, swallowed a nearby home, and is threatening a highway bridge.

Swollen rivers feeding into the Mississippi River are expected to cause major flooding in St. Paul, Minnesota, by the end of the week, according to AccuWeather. A high-pressure system over parts of the southern U.S. will result in ongoing thunderstorms and possibly derechos—fierce, powerful, fast-moving, and damaging storms—this week and beyond, says AccuWeather Lead Long-Range Meteorologist Paul Pastelok. This will mean more surges of water and additional flooding.

"There will be an increased threat of thunderstorm complexes, including potential derechos, from the north-central Plains and Midwest to the Great Lakes and Ohio Valley into early July," Pastelok said.

Developments:

Hot and humid conditions are returning Wednesday across much of the nation's southern tier, the National Weather Service reports. Highs are forecast to reach the mid- to upper 90s across the region, with low 100s expected in parts of South Carolina, Georgia, and the southern High Plains.

Europe is also experiencing record heat. Greece has shut down some of its ancient sites and warned tourists not to "take unnecessary risks" following deaths across Europe due to the heat wave.

A 6-foot wax statue of President Abraham Lincoln, installed outside a Washington, D.C., elementary school, is slowly melting into a headless blob amid soaring temperatures. Sponsor CulturalDC, which noted the wax has a congealing point of 140 degrees, removed the head to protect it while they determine how to proceed.

Family Loses Home to Blue Earth River, Cautiously Watches ‘Beloved’ Café

The Hruska family has owned a small, white, colonial three-bedroom home and a nearby café for more than 50 years. Visitors from around the world flocked to the café to hear Jim Hruska’s stories and be transported to a time without technology, his son David Hruska told USA TODAY.

Their home, which had been in the family for decades, offered a riverfront view of the Blue Earth River. However, on Tuesday night, it was swept away into the river after the Rapidan Dam partially failed, leaving David Hruska and his family speechless.

“You would never think in a million years our house would get washed away,” he said.

Weather Forecast For Florida:

His sister, Jenny Barnes, was baking pies at the café, the Rapidan Dam Store, on Monday night when she overheard the Excel Energy substation explode and saw the water violently pull it into the river.

Hruska said his family and volunteers rushed into the home to grab as many belongings as they could before it collapsed around 9:30 p.m. Tuesday.

“Our store is in danger of collapsing, and while it's not as close to the river as the house was, it's close enough to be a concern,” he said.

The store, renowned for its famous pies, has attracted visitors since it opened. Hruska mentioned that his parents created a guestbook in 1994, which includes entries from the Soviet Union, Germany, Switzerland, and other countries. He is worried about what will happen if the store meets the same fate as their home.

“The house is replaceable,” Hruska said. “But the Dam Store is irreplaceable. We can't create another Dam Store because we're grandfathered in. With new regulations and policies, it's impossible to reopen it as it was.”

The city of Mankato announced in a social media update that the Blue Earth River is receding, which is good news for the family's store. Unfortunately, their home is long gone.

Donations are slowly coming in for the family after Hruska discovered his insurance doesn’t cover mudslides.

Water Threatens Bridge After Rapidan Dam Partially Fails

Minnesota's Rapidan Dam, which partially failed and allowed floodwaters to swamp a home on Tuesday, has experienced "dramatic changes" as floodwaters have widened and deepened a channel cut around one side, local authorities said Wednesday.

https://weatherusa.app/zip-code/weather-71612

Most of the Blue Earth River's waters are now bypassing the dam's gates and racing through the channel. Although the water flow has slowed slightly, it remains too strong for emergency mitigation strategies and appears to be threatening the nearby Glacier Road Bridge, the Blue Earth County Sheriff's Office reported on social media.

"The focus has shifted from the dam to the bridge due to recent erosion," the Sheriff's Office stated. "We continue to work with downstream communities as the situation develops."

Shaping the Future in Concrete: A Lifetime of Durability

Concrete is a universal material that plays a critical role in shaping the future of our built environment. From skyscrapers to bridges to highways, concrete is the foundation upon which our modern world is constructed. Its durability and longevity make it a sustainable choice for infrastructure projects that are intended to last for generations. As the population continues to grow and urbanisation increases, the demand for durable and long-lasting materials like concrete will only continue to rise.

One of the key benefits of using commercial concreting in Port Lincoln construction is its incredible durability. Unlike other building materials that may deteriorate over time, concrete actually strengthens as it ages. This means that structures built with concrete can withstand the test of time and the elements, making them a wise investment for the future. Whether it is a high-rise building in a bustling city or a highway that sees heavy traffic, concrete can be relied upon to provide stability and longevity.

In addition to its durability, commercial concreting in Whyalla is also a sustainable choice for construction projects. Concrete is composed of readily available materials such as cement, water, and aggregates, making it an environmentally friendly option for builders and developers. Furthermore, advancements in concrete technology have led to the development of high-performance concrete mixes that reduce the need for steel reinforcements, resulting in more sustainable and cost-effective building material.

As we look towards the future of our cities and infrastructure, it is clear that concrete will continue to play a central role in shaping our built environment. Its durability, longevity, and sustainability make it a valuable asset for construction projects of all sizes.

Original caption: "The Rockefeller Center Christmas tree, loaded onto a barge, makes its way down the Hudson River toward New York City on November 12, 1997. The trip over the George Washington Bridge was getting tougher and tougher. The Lincoln Tunnel was too much of a squeeze. So the tree skipped its annual highway commute and traveled by boat this year to Rockefeller Center."

Endangered TRUSS: The Lincoln Highway Bridge in Tama, Iowa- Part Deux

For the second time in a row, we have a historic bridge that has been nominated for the Bridgehunter Awards in the category Endangered TRUSS. The Lincoln Highway Bridge spans Mud Creek just east of Tama, Iowa. It was constructed in 1915 by Paul Kingsley of Strawberry Point, Iowa and was supposed to have been restored for reuse this year. Sadly this is not the case, as we see from the photos…

Just "following the gulls" back to Ocean City

SITTING ALONG THE OCEAN CITY, MARYLAND BOARDWALK: "Follow the gulls" happens to be the motto of the authority behind the Chesapeake Bay Bridge/Tunnel complex of some 18 miles northward on US 13 out of Hampton Roads ... and, for that matter, is their symbol. First opened in 1964 and seeing a second two-lane adaptation parallel and in tandem thereto in 1988, at least you have the breezes off the Chesapeake Bay cooling you off in the bridge and causeway sections.

Which was oh so evident when Huck and I picked up some crab cakes worth heating up in the motorhome for the next leg of the journey--back to Ocean City, Maryland. Where, as it turned out, our current motorhome came about during last year's Character Convocation at their Springfest celebrations.

"And you wonder how impressive this motorhome has turned out," Huck was quick to remark over some Cheerwine picked up at some store in Virginia Beach.

To which I responded, "Plenty of opportunities ... not to mention having the likes of Augie Doggie and Doggie Daddy, Hokey Wolf, Wally Gator, &c., joining us."

"Who do you think we might pick up next?" discerned Huck.

Which seemed a little bemusing as, not that far off, those Goofy Guards, by names Yippy, Yappy and Yahooey, were offering for $20 a pop an opportunity for visitors to try their hand at sword play in the regal(?) manner. Over some French fries from a nearby stand, we were able to get the bizarre canine trio over, dress uniform and all, to have a chat.

"So," Huckleberry Hound remarked, "what exactly drives you here, and perhaps for the summer?"

"Call ourselves performance artists, as it were," remarked Yappy, the somewhat midsized, portly and brainy one of the three. "But with a difference."

"As in the opportunity for tourists to try their hand at fencing-type activity in the swashbuckler, Errol Flynn-stylee, manner," added the short and at once smarty Yahooey.

"And," added the tall and lanky Yippy, "who exactly wouldn't want to try the opportunity to discover their inner fencing artist?"

"I just hope people aren't bound to get hurt," remarked I.

"But at least we're filling in a niche which a certain Touché Turtle seems uninterested in," Yahooey remarked.

"Still, fellers," Huck chimed in, "Touché Turtle considers himself more or less the strong, silent type."

"With that bent-tip foil of his?!" was how Yippy parsed it.

Whereupon no less than Touché Turtle "himself" made his presence known, howbeit with the foil sheathed in his shell.

"I assume you were making reference to me?" was how Touché responded to the Goofy Guards' remark. (He probably must have heard it some distance away.) The three nodded their heads in agreement, then prodded their way back to their stand a couple blocks upward.

"Still, guys," Touché chimed in, "I try being modest in offering help." (Pause) "Even if it gets hilarious in the end."

"And I do understand," saith I, "that your compadre Dum-Dum is houseboating these days with Bristlehound on the Mississippi River."

"Which I can accept," Touché responded, "even if he sends me postcards from time to time. Oft making note of Friday-night fish fries he and Bristlehound come across."

"Which, come to think of it," Huck remarked, "might offer something of an opportunity. Maybe a couple days taking in the sea air and sunshine here in OC, Snag and Touché, and perhaps catch up with Dum-Dum and Bristlehound somewhere along the Mississippi for a few days ourselves."

"Heavens to Mark Twain ... perhaps going part of the way along the old Lincoln Highway, at least from Breezewood westbound."

Which had Touché asking what exactly this Breezewood is, to which I explained, "A rather unlikely crossroads in Pennsylvania. Disneyland it isn't." Which had Touché, plumed hat and all, chuckling. But at any rate, folks, stay tuned to see how this unfoldeth.

Where is Commercial Concreting Used the Most?

Commercial concreting is widely used in various industries and sectors. One of the significant areas where commercial concreting is extensively utilised is in the construction industry. It is employed in building structures such as skyscrapers, office buildings, shopping malls, and residential complexes. The durability and strength of concrete make it an ideal choice for constructing these commercial properties, ensuring their structural integrity and longevity.

Furthermore, commercial concreting plays a crucial role in infrastructure development in Port Lincoln. Bridges, tunnels, highways, and airports heavily rely on concrete construction to withstand heavy traffic loads and provide stable and durable transportation routes. Concrete's ability to bear heavy loads and resist adverse weather conditions makes it a preferred material for building these essential infrastructural elements. Moreover, its low maintenance requirements and long-lasting nature make it an economical and sustainable choice for large-scale projects.

Another sector where commercial concreting is extensively used is the industrial sector in Whyalla. Manufacturing plants, warehouses, and factories require strong and resilient flooring to withstand the heavy machinery, equipment, and frequent movement of goods. Concrete floors provide the necessary durability, resistance to wear and tear, and a smooth surface for material handling and machinery operations. Additionally, commercial concreting is utilised in constructing storage tanks, water treatment plants, and other industrial facilities, ensuring the safe storage and transportation of various materials.

Commercial concreting finds its most prominent applications in the construction, infrastructure, and industrial sectors. Its inherent strength, durability, and versatility allow for the creation of robust structures that can withstand heavy loads, adverse weather conditions, and provide longevity.
