What Took You So Long?
Tall Dave is a traditionally pretty mild-manored guy, but we all have our limits: Rude road users (cyclists and cars) are one of his, but apparently failed project deadlines are, two [sic]. Take the pedestrian bridge renovation project. Please! (Thanks to old-time comedian Rodney Dangerfield.)
It was originally supposed to take nine months to finish, which seemed long to most all of us. Then it was supposed to be done at the beginning of summer. After 2-and-a-half years, it reopened on 09’16’F and we finally got to run on it, 09’17’S (See pic.).
Tall Dave’s verdict: It should have been done in 6 months! And if supply chain problems were going to be an issue, they should have opened them back up! People use this path! (Emphasis his!)
I’m a little more sanguine about the whole thing. Nothing takes so long that it couldn’t have been a whole heck of a lot worse. Take the Blue Route.

I’ve won some big races and I’ve had some big disappointments.
--- Alberto Salazar, American coach, runner and 3-time winner of the NYC Marathon
For the elite, fear of losing a race is often the most powerful motivator.
--- Amby Burfoot, American winner of the Boston Marathon, many years edit-in-chief at Runner’s World magazine
Movement is almost synonymous with life.
