February 28, 201016 yr You wanna run it all, so you can really ball. But you should never try to walk until you learn to crawl
February 28, 201016 yr All of your fashion, all that you made, all that you built, and that you measure, all of this you can just leave behind.
February 28, 201016 yr Love so true, so rare; to weather the storms in life and see it through, that's all I am asking of you; all that is needed. True love is more precious than all the gold in the world, for what else holds us in a loving embrace, or kisses us gently on the lips? Time will heal the wounds, mend the ship. Love will find a way.:flutterby:
February 28, 201016 yr I am pouring energy into designing better systems for overpasses and bridges to survive earthquakes and for the cars not to go flying off the roads.. Really well-anchored supporting columns, fitted with many large struts, attaching the spans to the columns. A shock-absorber / coil spring system would take the energy of motion, and the spans wouldn't be yanked from their moorings then - saving many lives, and saving the infrastructure necessary to get relief supplies in when a quake hits.. Perhaps useful at the base of smaller multi-story buildings as well - make the buildings rigid, cushion the ride as the earth beneath moves up and down, to and fro.. It could easily be retro-fitted as well onto existing overpass and elevated roadbeds, and at a minimal cost compared to the inevitable damage caused by a quake.
