To heck with an introduction, lets get right to the stuff:

WEB SITE OF THE WEEK:

With the San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge now on a stamp I just had to find
a web page on this marvelous structure.

East Span Seismic Safety Project
http://www.dot.ca.gov/dist4/eastspans/index.html

A page by Caltrans District 4 on the San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge East
Span Seismic Safety Project (SFOBB). This page is dense with information on
this project with links to a variety of online documents and other
resources related to this project.

Useful for a variety of science related topics from the impact on the
environment to the physical requirements for such a structure.

And of course this being the week of April first I had to find a second
appropriate web page to list.

The Official Golden Gate Tunnel web site.

http://www.goldengatetunnel.com/

Check out the doughnut court, gift shop and information on Miss Golden Gate
Tunnel.

even be incorporated into jewelry.

This well illustrated book is a delight to the eye and mind, worth dropping
by to look at.

Unlike some web pages, which brings us to:
