I love well-behaved spiders! They are, in fact, how most people find my site. Unfortunately, my network has a limited bandwidth and pictures take up bandwidth. Spiders ask for lots and lots of pages and chew up lots and lots of bandwidth which slows things down considerably for regular folk. To counter this, you'll see all the text on the page but the images are being suppressed. Also, some system options like merges are being blocked for you.
Note: Permission is NOT granted for spiders, robots, etc to use the site for AI-generation purposes. I'm sure you're thrilled by your ability to make revenue from my work but there's nothing in that for my human users or for me.
If you are in fact human, please email me at guthrie.bruce@gmail.com and I can check if your designation was made in error. Given your number of hits, that's unlikely but what the hell.

Help? The Medium (Email) links are for screen viewing and emailing. You'll want bigger sizes for printing. [Click here for additional help]

6. FDMBCD_210906_255.JPG: The maskless bearded guy said he had worked as a surveyor for the project. Someone asked him what the biggest complication for his job was. He said there was a government T3 cable (high speed communication) running down the Anacostia River that they had to work around. He said most of the work on the bridge was completed but there were still finishing touches to do. He said that there would be signage with quotes from Douglass added to the pedestrian sidewalks.
