The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

LOL, you beat me to it Bill. I just saw that on the wire too. Remember Tim and I going back and forth about that bridge, on the Fool? I kept telling him that Matty would make sure it didn't open. So all the freight continues to use Matty's bridge, fattening his heir's pockets. I wonder how big of a bribe they paid Trump the Great and Perfect for that "favor". I know it was a bribe, because, if it was about Canada, God on Earth Trump would close the Ambassador and Blue Water too. I wonder if God on Earth Trump could even find the bridge on a map?

Last time we were on Matty’s Ambassador Bridge, it was 2017 and we were on our way to Cape Breton. At the top of the bridge, halfway across, traffic was stalled without moving more than a few yards for at least ten minutes. We sat there, over a hundred feet over the water, and I had a close up view of the rust eaten girders holding that bridge up. It was less than encouraging. I vowed we’d never cross that bridge again.

We’ve been to Canada four times since then and purposefully drive to Port Huron and cross over on the Blue Water bridge.

We’ve been watching the construction of the Gordie Howe and were awaiting its completion.

Guess we’ll have to wait a while longer
