Yeah, the Broadway Bridge changeover happened over the weekend, I think. They
didn't make any big deal about it; I used it Saturday and was surprised. Sure
a lot nicer to bike on the new bike/pedestrian path.

Depot street will be closed tomorrow, probably for the demo of the
remaining span of the old bridge.

The ladybugs were imported so nothing around here seems to eat them.
The curbside find is our fastest computer. Win98 will run on a P166 just fine
and this is a P500. The owners probably put it out because the PCI video card
stopped working., The onboard video (1024 res only) works fine. The previous
owners left the 8G hard drive but removed the floppy drive with its holder
so Jim had to improvise to put in two hard drives (one is for DOS). He made
his own cage (holder) out of something.
We now have two computers and three monitors all over the living room.

I tried to drive north on Division to
get on Plymouth the other day.

Right - doesn't work too well nowadays, unless you're into crashing
through barriers and driving on rubble.

Umm I just got really interested in Linux and I decided to get to
Google and do some digging which is how I wound up here. Umm, I don't
know much about how this stuff works but I'll be here every time I
can. :)
We're all one...

Sometimes Google takes you to the strangest places! (Welcome to Grex,

Grex isn't even close to qualifying as one of the "strangest places"
Google might take you..

Re #54: Has anyone warned you about the streets that used to be one-way

(#63 was responding to the final thought of #57/#58 and the penultimate
thought in #62; I can't claim to not be strange.)
tsty, State Street, Liberty, Thompson, Maynard and North University are now
two-way their entire lengths. When I've driven that area since the change,
I've found traffic to move much more smoothly, and parking a lot easier to
find. No more swooping across several lanes of traffic to get to that open
spot on the other side of the street.

yikes .. thankxx for the info - i did ask.
i guess i'l have to take a run at it some time soon.
i tend to suspect carson's respoins is more appropriate than gelinas
but that is NOT a function of eitehr man, but rather a functin
of driver anticipations.
driving is an excercise in being aware of anomolies whilst anticipating
normality.
it could also be a function of the time of day ... we shall see.

The State/Liberty/North U area gets very congested during home football
weekend, especially during the evenings. One person turning left on NU from
s-bound State, or left onto n-bound State from Liberty can tie up the
intersection for a full signal cycle. Same for left on w-bound Liberty from
State.

I wonder if it would help if they made part of State St and part of
Liberty one way? hahaha j/k

For those who occasionally join the Saturday Grex Walk:
The regular walking group is going to reset the walk start time to
** 10:00 am ** which is where it was back when the walks started in
the late 1980s. Start times have drifted to about 10:30, now perhaps
pushing towards 10:40.
Lunch gatherings should be around 12:30.

re #70: You can turn left now from south-bound State onto North University?
I *have* been away from Ann Arbor for a while..
