Support our Highways
San Antonio has been building highways for as long as I can remember. This is one support of a highway that hasn't gone up yet. It's kind of scary too me that all that supports all that weight or these flimsy little things.
Oh really? See I always forget that. Almost everyday we pass by the Convention Center where they are builing a Hyatt hotel and there's this huge hole in the ground. My nepehew asked what they needed such a big hole, we answered: underground parking and possibly support for what I'm assuming will be a tall building. But I didn't think to think about it with these babies—not sure why since there's piles of dirt everywhere.

It might look like aflimsy thing - but those go deep into the ground.
