7. The bridge photos...

... reminded me of a metal grate bridge across the Umpachene River in Southfield, Mass when I was a kid sixty-odd years ago. My horse, Patch, did not like crossing it because he could see through it. I had to walk him over it several times before he'd do it with me in the saddle. It still made him nervous, though, because his shoes would slip a little on the grate.
And, yeah, I'm that old! I'll turn 80 next year! So much for Live fast, die young, and leave a beautiful corpse!
