{ed Warning -- a little bit sick.}

I just saw the latest bulletin from the California DOT (Dept. of
Transportation for the uninitiated).  The freeways are currently a
mess, but there are some bright spots.

It turns out that it will be only a few days before they find
something to fill the current gap in the SF-Oakland Bay Bridge
(this is rather surprising to me; I didn't think they actually kept
spare bridge sections lying around).

The section of I-880 in Oakland is, however, going to take quite a bit
longer to fix.  For now, they've settled for renumbering it to I-440.
