100+ schools closed because of high winds. Surely the Skyway must have been closed, right? Nope. Sorry, folks.
To be fair, it was closed for about an hour earlier in the week in one direction only because of a fender bender. That’s the first time this winter.
In our last episode, we were still waiting on the building permit. That permit was issued without any further delays or lectures, so the builders got moving with pouring the footers. As of yesterday, the forms have been removed and they are prepping to set the foundation walls. Many have commented that they don’t quite…

Meanwhile, by diverting grain and oilseed crops from dinner plates to fuel tanks, biofuels are jacking up world food prices and endangering the hungry. The grain it takes to…
I am happy to say that I was one of those schools closed. Seeing that Monday we have a staff day at school, therefore no holiday for us, it was nice to actually catch up on some work in the house! Kudos to God for the high winds and cold weather! 😉
Ripping down the Skyway is something I want to see happen. It’s a joke, an eyesore and costs millions of dollars to paint and maintain every year.
You are, of course, entitled to your opinion. But I’d love to see a comparative cost study on the maintenance/staffing costs of multiple lift bridges vs. the once-per-decade painting of the Skyway.
