Breaking Bridge Near Seattle

I was on a fact finding tour of the Northwest United States during the month of September, 2001.

An amazing discovery was unearthed. This bridge somehow senses when boats will need additional room to pass under it. Then it splits itself right across the middle, and the two sides rise up from the center, and quickly are out of harms way.

This is obviously a defense mechanism the bridge has perfected.

I am unsure when the bridge began to do this. We asked a local resident (Stevie, age 5) about this, and he assured us the bridge had always been there and always done that.

This local resident was also fascinated by the breaking bridge. It appeared his fondest wishes were for the bridge to go down and crunch the boats. We spent several hours with Stevie watching the bridge and also hoping for the bridge to crunch the boats.
 

Breaking Bridge People

Amazingly, not more than a ten minute walk from the breaking bridge, this image to the left displays what was going on.

There were all sorts of people there, and they were looking at stuff that other people were trying to sell them.

There was items like old used clothes, old used furniture, and even old used typewriters and musical instruments.

It was hot there. we discovered that this place sold food and liquids! Two members of the research staff purchased food (vegetable burgers), and the rest of the staff purchased sodas.

This is how Just Another Bipod spends all the money it's readers send in. Research, it is called, a wonderful thing.

This research allowed me to learn an awful lot about breaking bridges, and provided you with this fine webpage.

Editorial Note: This is another instance where Just Another Bipod goes where few others dare to travel for research of considerable interest to its viewing public.
