Beginnings of a new playground for grands and park for residents and their guests.

village shooter seems to think that the repair is to a water main that apparently broke due to a sink hole...i am too naive not to believe it!

A break can certainly create a large hole (like a sinkhole) as did happen at Lake Miona pickleball courts a few years ago. Just saying.

You have to ask yourself why did the water main break?.???
Shifting sand and shifting earth makes the water main break it lay there hundreds of years if it is on solid ground when the ground starts Moving and there is nothing to support the pipe because of the sinkhole developing the water main breaks. Yes there was a water main break but it was caused because of a very large sinkhole that could no longer support the pipe. You have to ask why things happen ! Sometimes the Kool-Aid has vinegar in it and we still wanted to taste good

Keep in mind that the bridge was built on flat dry ground, and the adjacent areas were filled in. Easy to have a settling problem when a water main in installed in fill.

An Italian, a Scotsman, and a Chinese fellow were working at the Morse bridge construction site. The foreman points out a huge pile of sand and tells the Italian guy that he is in charge of sweeping. He tells the Scottish man that he is in charge of the shoveling, and the Chinese guy is in charge of supplies. The foreman goes away for a couple of hours and when he returns the pile of sand is still there untouched.”

“He asks the Italian guy. “Why haven’t you swept any of the sand?’

The Italian guy says, “I no hava a broom. You said the Chinese fella wasa ina charge-a of supplies, but he hasa disappeared and I no coulda finda him no where.”

The foreman then turns to the Scottish man and says, “you were supposed to shovel this pile of sand.”

The Scottish man says, “Aye, boot ah could nay get meself a shoovel. Ye left th’ Chinese gadgie in charge of supplies, boot ah could nay find him either.”

The foreman is really angry and storms off toward the pile of sand. He is looking for the Chinese guy.”

Just then, the Chinese guy leaps out from behind the pile of sand and yells, “SUPPLIES!”

Adult sandbox. Bring out the Tonka Trucks and Toys. So many other things around TV take up back to our youth why not a sand box?

Now you know that's not politically correct. Racial profiling. You'r gonna have Eric Holder after you.

Nah, but if I said this it would be racial profiling:


A man is taking a walk in Central park in New York. Suddenly he sees a little girl being attacked by a pit bull dog.
He runs over and starts fighting with the dog. He succeeds in killing the dog and saving the girl's life.
A policeman who was watching the scene walks over and says: "You are a hero, tomorrow you can read it in all the
newspapers: "Brave New Yorker saves the
life of little girl"
The man says: - "But I am not a New Yorker!"
"Oh.
Then it will say in newspapers in the morning: 'Brave American saves life of little girl'" – the policeman answers.
"But I am not an American!" – says the man.
"Oh, what are you then?"
The man says: - "I am a Saudi!"
The next day the newspapers read:
"Islamic extremist kills innocent American
dog.”

Back to the Whaazup with the sand thread, sorry.

:thumbup::a20: Pricelss....even got a laugh out of the wife!!!!!

Too funny!!

Worse than that it wasn't funny. He's going to have the comedians union after him.

They're getting worse.

I actually saw Joan Collins laying on top of the sand piles this morning! Does she live here in TV?

I think the jokes are funny but this sand pile does appear to be a serious problem. Hopefully we will be informed of the nature of the problem soon.

misson hills will not need the bridge!

misson hills will not need the bridge! That's sinkhole under the bridge is not fixed you will be able to just drive across the mud to get the lake Sumter Landing with all that water will be down the Sinkhole,, At least you'll be able to go fishing driving your cart across the mud. They have a huge sinkhole near the island and it caused a water main break They have worked 24 hours a day to get it repaired before it any larger sinkholes could have a tendency to get deeper and wider You are so right it is not funny it could be catastrophic if they don't stay on top of it and get it repaired but another will pop up somewhere else
