You know, da na na na na na na X 3, clap, clap, clap, clap....I decided to seek out these kicking tunes and happened upon Chris's 50th Birthday Party!

London Bridge

This is the remnants of "London Bridge". The missing section fell down 17 years to the day (Jan. 14th) when this picute was taken. The other bridge part will also fall in time as water and wind continue to erode the rock base.

Ok, I'm all caught up on reading you blogs (just started tonight).
