<body class='hmmessage'><div dir='ltr'>The absurdity is rooted in Tom's posts and he's been wrong so far on ALL of his predictions. He posted umpteen pictures of Lost Trail Pass with customary 'tick-tock' as if that whole deal was going to explode and it didn't. He posted how it was 'bullshit' that overpass onramps and offramps in Idaho were going to be reinforced to handle the weight of the megaloads and tried rallying the troops (to no avail) to go stage a protest. Now he's showing another picture of bridge with his amateur opinion that it can't handle a 1.6 million pound megaload as if that entire weight is going to be concentrated within a a small enough area to collapse the bridge. The bridge isn't going to collapse unless it's sabotaged by environmentalist terrorists.<br><br>Paul has posted a number of times not to worry about any of this and that megaloads will find their way to the destination. The sooner, the better. Then the discussion can be focussed on the supposed 'real problem' instead of just the symptom.<br><br><div><hr id="stopSpelling">From: v2020@ssl1.fastmail.fm<br>To: moscowlocksmith@gmail.com; scooterd408@hotmail.com<br>CC: vision2020@moscow.com<br>Subject: RE: [Vision2020] A 1.6 million-pound megaload, huh?<br>Date: Tue, 20 May 2014 12:25:53 -0700<br><br><style><!--
