Ha! PawPaw, Texas laughs at your measly 91 degrees
I'm sure your humidity makes that 91 feel like hell thoughThat bridge reminds me of the famous swaying bridge from ages ago. I want to say it was in San Francisco maybe? Not sure of that at all, probably completely wrong. There's footage of it swinging up and down with cars driving on it before it collapsed

Good call on starting Tuesday! I couldn't imagine being one of those 3 and 4 cup per day folks. I'm so glad I've resisted coffee thus far, don't know how long I'm gonna last though . . .

The entire concrete support pylon dropped 3 feet so it's most likely a footing failure or a soil issue since the entire area is swampy lake bed.
