Falling Down on the Job

First of all, if you aren't already checking out the blog on www.mentalfloss.com, you really should. Lots of interesting info gets shared there. :D

One of the topics recently mentioned on the Mental Floss website involves the state of U.S. Infrastructure (i.e. our transportation system, water, security, etc.) According to the American Society of Civil Engineers, our national infrastructure is currently given the grade D....as in, just above failing. Not a huge surprise, but it's a shame. Here's the link to the actual "report card" given by the ASCE in 2005, the last year it was issued. It's some interesting, though disconcerting, reading.
