in the high school marching band. i think my most important contribution was following the base drum who was ahead of me. riding the ferry with his father, he watched the construction and 75 years later is still in awe. every day i go across i look at that bridge and say how smart those people were to engineer that thing. first proposed in 1921 by engineer joseph strauss it was opposed by rival ferry companies. in just four years a depression era crew created an engineering marvel. a 4200-foot long suspension span supported by cables held alost by two 746-foot tall high towers. a mix of art and efficiency and always moving people. you can walk on it and touch it and feel it move. you can watch the painters painting.

in the high school marching band. i think my most important contribution was following the base drum who was ahead of me. riding the ferry with his father, he watched the construction and 75 years later is still in awe. every day i go across i look at that bridge and say how smart those people were to engineer that thing. first proposed in 1921 by engineer joseph strauss it was opposed by rival ferry companies. in just four years a depression era crew created an engineering marvel. a 4200-foot long suspension span supported by cables held alost by two 746-foot tall high towers. a mix of art and efficiency and always moving people. you can walk on it and touch it and feel it move. you can watch the painters painting.
cables, held aloft by towers. and painted to blend in with the natural scenery, a mix of art and efficiency, always moving people. you can walk on it. you can touch it. you can feel it move. you can watch the painters painting. you know, it s a bridge to be experienced. the color of the bridge, that was another controversy. the air force wanted to paint it red and white. the navy, black and yellow for their navigational purposes. but international orange won the day and thank goodness because we have a beautiful bridge that enhances the natural landscape, rather than detracts from it. jamie: beautiful spot. thanks so much. eric: tropical storm beryl is on the way in the east coast, threatening to bring heavy rain to the southeast today. we are tracking it, showing it s stronger than anticipated, coming up. what s the matter?
