the u.s.41 bridge over the chattahoochee was built in 1936 as part of the state's first "dualized" (i.e., four-lane) highway, the existence of which had a lot to do with the decision to locate the bell bomber plant in cobb county --- after world war ii, lockheed re-developed the site --- the bridge is now being replaced, d.o.t. having proclaimed it "substandard" --- the new one doesn't have nearly the character of the old, but at least the guard walls are not solid

Each of us is all the sums he has not counted: subtract us into nakedness and night again, and you shall see begin in Crete four thousand years ago the love that ended yesterday in Texas.
The seed of our destruction will blossom in the desert, the alexin of our cure grows by a mountain rock, and our lives are haunted by a Georgia slattern, because a London cutpurse went unhung. Each moment is the fruit of forty thousand years. The minute-winning days, like flies, buzz home to death, and every moment is a window on all time.
john northbrooke, c. 1570
