Back in December, I went on a cruise to the Bahamas, man that was the best weather on Earth! We stopped at a city named Freeport, which I knew nothing about.

Ole Singstad was the engineer who built the lincoln tunnel. Everything had to be done by hand. They had to draw what they wanted the tunnel to look like. The two crews started one and a half miles apart. It was amazing that they could meet up at one certain point without knowing where the other group was at. There would have been no way to
