Lock Stock and Five Cloudy Towers

Saw this awesome special on one of our Spanish channels earlier about the bridge viaduc de Millau, which connects Northern Europe to Southern France and Spain. From what I read and saw on tv:

Its architect, Sir Norman Foster, has said driving across at a record 270 metres (885ft) above the Tarn valley should feel like "flying a car".

In the clouds, indeed:


Holy crapolinies!

Check out this awesome flyover (brown moment at 2:09 ~ 2:11 with the cars):

Also, we got the front door finally fixed today. Always good to have the door fixed. We've been coming in through the roof. Which is not so bad, because the ladder next to the front door is fun to shoot up, unlock the door to our private roof entrance, and then boulder down the stairs to get in. Or, when that's been locked, really ninja it down the back fire escape. Yes, I can say with full confidence from my metalurgy studies at OTC Daihen, that crawling over the edge of the top of a tall three-floor building via an old, rusty ladder, is not only dangerous, it ought to be illegal. I did it once, poor R had to do it twice.

At least we can lock that window now that the door's fixed!
