Those bridges hold strong memories from my childhood. I went barefoot all the time (as did everyone else, adults as well as children), except on Sundays when I had to wear shoes to church. Walking home after church, I had to keep the shoes on until we got to the first bridge, when I could get back to bare feet. Wonderful memory of that bridge.<br />Bobby RondthalerAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6559692.post-77277497238851305362014-01-12T10:20:37.950-05:002014-01-12T10:20:37.950-05:00Unless people print their digital images for post...Unless people print their digital images for posterity and store them properly....

I suppose some forward thinking group is amassing a system to preserve and protect what means of accessing the files and or the internet.of today; perhaps so ,perhaps not. Actually, what I meant to comment on was...As a child growing up in Miami, visiting the beach weekly , did not cause me to ponder the names of the beach Haulover hmm Haul over Haul what over,?? the catch of the day your boats?? I suppose when the bridge was built over the channel, Government Cut , I think it was cut not gut anyway, your charming essay brought both these curious thoughts to my mind.
