Well that whimsical highlight was short-lived, at least from David's perspective. An old friend used to have a saying of which I will paraphrase, 'Don't put things you don't want to happen into the Universe (either verbally or in thought)'.
The cute drawbridge that connects us to the Fremont neighborhood goes up very often, especially during the summer, to let tall ships pass. It was a novelty for us at first that David quickly grew tired. And I truly believe that because he dislikes having to wait for the bridge to return to its crossible and prone position, 99% of the time that he comes close to the bridge the familar boat horn blows, the bridge warning bells ring, the blockacade drops and up goes the drawbridge. The percentage for me happens a lot less. I understand that I have no control of the situation.
A few weeks ago I captured this lovely pic:
Maybe David could benefit from following my friend's saying, don't you think :-)?

Roadblocks are so charming.
David should have a talk with the bridge operator. Maybe the operator has binoculars and can see David heading to the bridge.
I know this is true - I've witnessed it!
Too funny!!!
