Sorry, the time I might have spent writing about Anthrohio, which I still mean to do, went into being angry at Apple over Time Machine not archiving mail anymore even though it used to and ``recover a thing I deleted by mistake'' is exactly the point of Time Machine. So here's pictures from walking around town a couple months ago.

The ramp between US 127 and I-496 has been under major construction all year, and here it is after they'd put the new bridge in but before all the supporting structure to it was in place.

You can imagine how much fun it's been using this interchange when there seem to be a different series of lanes existing and what what directions they move in every week.

I regret not getting photos of the bridge being completely gone, but at least here's one where the approach to the new bridge isn't yet in place.

And here's what the traffic light feeding into the onramps looked like while under the heaviest construction. It's still under construction, by the way, just ... different construction.

The other side of the intersection and the ramp being built for feeding onto US 127 northbound.

I liked this dramatic pose of the crane nearly elevated dead-on. Also of the approach to the bridge here not being in place yet.
