  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

The bridge has been closed since Sunday after there was an "unexpected movement" in the bridge that crosses the Mississippi River between Iowa and Wisconsin.

Work is now beginning to stabilize the 93-year-old piers so the bridge can re-open. The Iowa DOT said the work could take up to two months.

Until the bridge is repaired or other crossing options put into place, drivers have to go to either La Crosse or Prairie du Chien to cross the river.

[Those two cities are ~60 miles apart along the Iowa/Wisconsin border.]

NYC went through that "money saving" deferred maintenance. It resulted in the famous headline "Ford to City: Drop Dead" (no federal bail out).

Closed bridges are a nightmare for commuters. Perhaps work from home will be reinstated?
