On Saturday, Florida International University in Miami installed an “instant bridge” — a 950-ton span to allow students to more safely cross the Tamiami Trail. The $14 million pedestrian structure, funded by the federal government, whose main span went up in a single day, was scheduled to open next year.

12 CommentsDog and book days I was deadlining late this week, aiming to get an almost-complete version of the “basics of resistance” book (co-authored with Kit Perez) to reality-checkers. Ava did not approve of all this focus-not-on-her. The beloved little diva was driving me nutz. So even though March is supposed to be my frugalista month, off Ava went to Furrydoc’s Dogotel. I hit my self-imposed deadline a day early. The timeout was glorious — except on the day it rained and I kept thinking, “Oh, I’d better bring Ava in from outside.” Then I’d remember.
