Tacoma Narrows Bridge: 'Galloping Gertie' collapsed 85 years ago

On Nov. 7, 1940, the Tacoma Narrows Bridge, or ‘Galloping Gertie,’ dramatically collapsed into the Puget Sound. Friday marks 85 years since the disaster reshaped how engineers approach long-span bridges.

Getting my eye balls checked. Been a couple years at least and long overdue. Can’t wait to see the results. 👀

Hell yeah. We're now 4-2. GO HAWKS! #seahawks

Fox broadcast lost the broadcasters. This is kind of nice.

Man, you can you really tell we're missing a lot of key folks on defense today. #seahawks

It was quite the turnout. Most commissioner's meetings you can count the audience on one hand.

I'm not a fan of the game calling for today's game. #Seahawks

Go Ms. #tridentsUp🔱

Looks like Sheriff Sanders invited some friends to the county budget meeting. Even news crews showed up.

I am equal parts exhausted and over caffeinated.

Seahawks win!

So we’re back to high anxiety endings. #seahawks

How'd did we get on this timeline?

so many dead canaries and we just keep on mining

The end of this Giants/Cowboys game is bonkers!

What a game. That 4th quarter was insane! #seahawks

Spencer Cox: "Our nation is broken. We had political assassinations recently in Minnesota. We had an attempted assassination on the gov of Pennsylvania. And we had an attempted assassination on a president. Nothing I say can unite us as a country. Nothing I can say right now can fix what is broken"

Outside of Olympia with just me, myself, and I.

Okay, here we go. It's kickoff time! #GoHawks #SEAvsSF

Half the outlets on the front wall of my house quit working suddenly. House was rewired 3 years ago, so that was concerning. “Bad neutral” connection error on the tester. Found one outlet with a loose neutral and another outlet with a poor connection that looks like it got hot. Fixed both. ✅

Got told at work today that leadership notified our county department that there are severe budget issues that would have far reaching 'consequences'. As the newest employee in my section, I'm a bit anxious for our all-hands meeting tomorrow.

Busy weekend. Replaced power steering hose on my son's Tahoe. Then replaced wood around the shop roll up door, fixed the roll up door seal, and cut/chipped concrete from under the door so when closed, it would sit a little lower than floor level. Gonna finish it next weekend.

It’s September 1st and there’s rain in the forecast (finallly)? Time to breakout the fall decor. 🎃😂

For dinner, we tried out Joe's Place down in Bucoda. Been here for almost 4 years, and for some reason we hadn't yet tried it. Wish we wouldn't have waited so long. Great food and really warm and friendly staff. Definitely recommend.

Who’s got fun plans for Labor Day weekend? My not-so-fun plan is to get caught back up on yard work and my shop repairs. Hoping to at least make some headway with this bum wrist.

The vandalized Sign reads, “THIS IS NOT THE FREE WALL DO NOT PAINT ANYWHERE ON THIS WALL IT IS VANDALISM”

This is the paid wall, I guess. 😏

Starting ArcGIS Pro map training at work!

What's NEXT? Great question.
