I did my morning routine of reading the news in the morning, local, national, and international and was surprised to see the story about the bridge collapsing in Minneapolis. I was last there in February of last year, and I remember Interstate 35 W very well because its basically the main route between St. Paul and Minneapolis. It's funny that something like this happened because only a few days ago I was thinking about old buildings such as the FlatIron building in NYC. For example this building was completed in 1902 and made with an Iron interior and brick and cement exterior. Materials weren't made to last forever, so who is the person responsible for checking that buildings like this are still suitable to be inhabited? I know there are structures in parts of the world that are centuries older than anything in New York but I suppose I'm just curious as to what happens when all the tall buildings that we've built get old and structurally unsound? Imagine the demolition team that has to take down the Empire State Building in say the year 2899. Random though huh?
In other news I am returning to Boston and NY/NJ on September 14th for a two week holiday, I'm really excited about this trip, but already sad about it at the sametime. My parents have begun moving to Florida so when I arrive half of the family will be in NJ and the other half in Florida.  ¶ 7:00 AM
