Apparently craziness is how 2025 will start off.

Terrorist attacks complete with exploding cyber-trucks and security concerns surrounding the College Football Playoffs were in the news as the year began. 

But, in really fantastic news, the US-1 Bridge over the Loxahatchee River in Jupiter, FL, partially reopened. We have been suffering with congested traffic since March 2023 when the existing bridge was closed for demolition and reconstruction. We are excited to have one more lane each way because that increased the number of available lanes to cross the river from 2 to 3 and removed an excruciating detour. Maybe traffic will moderate a bit. I am anxious to drive over the bridge. The completed bridge will have a nice bike lane, and I am looking forward to biking across the bridge. 

A special thanks to Carola for taking the picture of the newly opened bridge while caught in traffic.
