Rick Mason Quotations

We're constantly making sure every bridge in the state is structurally sound. It's one of our priorities.

Because we have so many bridges in this state, most times the need for repairs is greater than the means we have to do it. Every year, we update the condition of each bridge to make sure the money is there for repairs.

Just because a bridge has structural deficiencies doesn't mean it's unsafe. It merely means it's deteriorating.

We have a very strong, very aggressive criteria for inspections and maintenance.

Either way, the lyrics are very effective in creating sort of this strange gothic atmosphere, where there's this sort of unsettling feeling or feeling of grim portent or whatever you want to call it.

A lot of us feared they would be just a bunch of individuals. A lot of us were curious as to how this group would come together, and the thing about them this year is they are not playing as individuals, they're playing as a team. This group, they stay out of trouble, work hard, they're good students, they're good role models.
