NOW GET BACK IN THE DAMN CAR AND STOP BLOCKING TRAFFIC!"

No educating the young these days, I tell you.
And "see to it then chop chop" I say to you as well Sunray ...

Maybe when Eileen and Bob are driving you home after Christmas Dinner you'll have a camera to take pics of the bridge. I loved seeing it/driving over it when I was there those few times and hearing the history ... EVERY time we crossed it Kids get annoyed faster with re-educating
