The Shallows' 42


I haven't seen this film, but I've never seen Jaws, either. This one does have a 42.

trailer for The Shallows:



*******

Speaking of infrastructure, were we speaking of infrastructure? ... the "M" Bridge across the Mississippi River at Memphis has been closed, including river traffic under the bridge, because a serious structural crack was found during a routine annual inspection. The bridge may be closed for months. There's another bridge, but it's a much narrower 2-lane bridge, and some of those big trucks won't even fit. I'm glad I don't make that commute every day.

  4. I haven't seen this film but I must admit, I don't like blood and guts horror films, but I just love Jaws. It is a favorite of mine. Not sure how to explain that one. Happy Friday.

  6. Are there really only 2 bridges across the Mississippi at Memphis? Seems strange to me. Good luck getting back to normal.

    1. There are 3, but one of them is a railroad bridge.

    2. oops, I think there are 2 rail bridges... There are only 2 bridges that cover passenger car/truck traffic, though.

  7. I have seen Jaws but not this movie. I don't think I will, either--LOL! Jaws is almost a classic, I suppose. Surprised you haven't seen it.

    1. I even have it on DVD, but it just sits there not getting picked.

  8. I haven't seen or heard of it. A lot of bridges here are under scrutiny and/or being repaired because of structural deficits. I'm glad I don't need to drive to work every morning, too! Valerie

    1. They're scrutinizing former inspections now. Many of us think this isn't a new problem this year.

  9. I was sure I left you a comment on 42. I will comment on Infrastructure. I saw that about closing the bridge on the news. A perfect example of why Biden's plan needs to get approved in the senate.

    1. Inspections need to be more thorough at least.
