    Little Known Facts...

    The Sunshine Skyway Bridge

    Opened to traffic in 1987, the Sunshine Skyway Bridge is a cable stayed bridge with a vertical clearance of 191 feet above the 1,200-foot wide shipping channel over Tampa Bay. The sight is beautiful and majestic as you cross depending on the time of day. The Sunshine Skyway Bridge is a popular tourist attraction as well as a favorite among St. Petersburg residents and visitors year in and year out. The Sunshine Skyway Bridge carries not only Interstate 275, but it multiplexes with US 19 from Exit 17 (54 Av S) to Exit 5 (US 19 South).

    Here's a picture of some great architecture...

    Gendarmerie

    A gendarmerie or gendarmery is a military or paramilitary force charged with police duties among civilian populations. Members of such a force are typically called "gendarmes". The Shorter Oxford English Dictionary describes a gendarme as "a soldier who is employed on police duties" and a "gendarmery, -erie" as "gendarmes as a body". The term maréchaussée (or marshalcy) may also be used (e.g., Royal Marechaussee) but is now uncommon.

    Here's a picture of the boats they use. Look at those sleek lines...

    I've been getting back into playing in bands, and trying out that whole dating scene I've been away from for 20+ years....So far so good. There's a whole lot of new distractions....but I haven't forgotten about this one.

    A cooler, cool box, portable ice chest, chilly bin (in New Zealand), or 'esky' (Australia) most commonly is an insulated box used to keep food or drink cool. Ice cubes are most commonly placed in it to help the things inside stay cool. Ice packs are sometimes used, as they either contain the melting water inside, or have a gel sealed inside that stays cold longer than plain ice (absorbing heat as it changes phase).

    Here is an example of an Igloo Cooler being tested in a hot ass environment:
