Conference Over
Flight doesn’t leave for 4 hours.
I’m at the hotel bar. Let’s see how this goes.

I tried out the Photo Sphere mode on my phone’s camera so that I could get this whole scene in. I think it came out pretty well, although the curve in the bridge girders is exaggerated.
Note the welder on the beam in the middle of the span. He’s about 90 feet (27 meters) up.
Had a burger and fries for dinner tonight. It came with cole slaw. About a spoonful that just covered the bottom of the cup it came in.
What do bridge engineers do at a bridge conference in the City of Bridges? They take a bus tour of the city’s bridges, of course.
Listen to Jon too
Well that was disappointing.
Should’ve listened to Sam.
Listen to Sam, people.
Dinner
Pittsburgh
I’m in Pittsburgh on my first ever business trip. It’s for a conference. Of bridge engineers. There are hundreds of us here. Meeting in a big conference center for three days. They have to call in extra security because of the raucousness. The police are going to be extra thin on Monday night trying to cover both the conference and the Stanley Cup playoffs.
While waiting to eat at something called a “gastropub”, a Delorean drove by.
Pittsburgh is weird.
