B.C. by Mastroianni and Hart for October 15, 2022

The Russian…. I… I mean ROMAN empire expands.

A little for the Romans?

Not quite done as the Roman legions returned to Rome to overthrow the Emperor. Once the had installed one of their own and got hundreds of denarii in return, they will return to finish it.

An Aqua Duck!

pesky Romans……..

Have they seen this kind of thing before?

Oh, wait until you see who comes after them!

Soon they will face their arch enemy…

And now we know where the Disney World monorail ends. Yip yip yip yip yip

Cartoon Physics. As depicted an arch is not self-supporting until the keystone is in place.

A bridge half finished. I wonder if that means someone is coming or that someone can’t get away?

John Mellencamp – “He’s got a interstate runnin’ through his front yardYou know he thinks he’s got it so good”.

Yes. Infrastructure. Progress. Development. It must all be bad!

That’s a viaduct …

Oh my

Some engineer must have realized that it would be ruins in a thousand years or so, and decided to go straight to that.

I can’t quite make the connection here?

I said the same thing about NY building a bridge over Chautauqua Lake…ruined it! …..thats when we stopped going!

What have the Romans ever done for us?

Well the bridge is incomplete. They were building a bridge across the channel to France, but that’s not France. Back to the drawing board. Louis! Your the only Frenchman who could not find France, your fired.

“Progress.”

Well, that settles it. The water area is not an ocean. River, lake, causeway, canal, channel perhaps, but ocean, definitely not.

Ah, a Viaduct…

Welp?

Welp?

Roman aqueduct!

Or the Roman viaduct?

Aqueduct, you’ll have running water… and flushing toilets!

Starrucca Viaduct

Welp?

That design I have seen in Italy, Roman ruins.

The beginning of developers who make life impossible for people who aren’t like minded or otherwise able to toe their line.

Whoa! Was that developer named Howard Roark? Perhaps someone has been reading their Ayn Rand?

Oh, goody! We can go to the races!

The ides of March are early. Very
