...lots more eating and pooping when the weather is bad and all (most) people do is eat, watch TV and get on the net....
I shopped for food and necessities/snacks before the cold hit us too...stocked up on TP....
Oh, you meant swinging like swaying. I thought you meant swinging bridge like a swing bridge that swings open and closed. We had both kinds.
I wish we could have one nice snow storm per year.Pah, it's flurries here.

What you're describing are the two old bridges over the Cooper River. They were both replaced by the Ravenel Bridge.

TCS and I used to run the annual Cooper River Bridge 10k Run on the old bridge. During the run, the bridge was closed to traffic. With just runners on it it used to bounce. They had to prohibit the Marines from running in time as a group because they made it bounce too dangerously. It was interesting, to say the least.
There was a weight limit that prohibited large trucks on the older of the two bridges (Grace). Also, because it was so narrow vehicles were constantly getting their side mirrors knocked off.
After the new bridge was built they took down the two old bridges.
...and swayed to and fro' when it was windy or a lot of traffic....lanes so narrow!....Feel lucky to be alive, it was harrowing...Oh, you meant swinging like swaying. I thought you meant swinging bridge like a swing bridge that swings open and closed. We had both kinds.

Nope. The old bridges were in the way of navigation, and the streets to the new bridge were diverted from the old ones. Besides, the new bridge had walking/running/bicycle lanes built (with toilet and water facilities). The Cooper River Bridge Run now uses the new bridge. No one misses the old ones; they were hazardous and expensive to maintain.
Overcast but nice. Took advantage of the warmth to jog for an hour, now sooooo calm...
