The Spinning Road Underpass
Posted Oct 3, 2000
The Spinning Road Underpass is not too friendly to tall things - especially trucks. Today another one got stuck. My guess is that it happens about 5 times each year.
The reason why this happens is this : it looks tall enough to drive under. The problem is that it's about 6" too short for a few vehicles. Most trucks that get stuck can become unstuck simply by deflating its tires about half way.
If you have enough speed on entry it is actually possible to make it through but you end up peeling the truck top.

Koyaanisqatsi
Posted Oct 2, 2000
The word is Hopi Indian and roughly translates to "Life Out of Balance" or "...a way of life that calls for a different way of living". Koyaanisqatsi is also the title of a movie/audio CD/video/special release DVD. If you have not seen it, do so - it's more of an experience than it is a film. Good luck in finding a copy to screen.
I have been thinking about and have pretty much convinced myself that I should spend $180.00 US to support the Institute for Regional Education (IRE) in it's effort to get the DVD released to the general public.
I have also been considering writing a journal entry for Koyaanisqatsi. I'm actually amazed that there has not been one posted to date...
