For some reason, those weather people on TV got it all wrong. Oh gee, not again... Temps not in the low 70's, rain nowhere in sight, just a real nice day out....
Somehow, sports really dictate a lot of how people live. I'm not just talking about the fan that goes to every game or drives around with their team logo pasted all over their car, but I'm talking people who don't even follow or care for sports. What am I talking about? Well, the Bell Road overpass here in Surprise was scheduled to start the day after Spring Training ended last year. And even though the dropped that 95' beam on the railroad tracks a while back, that didn't slow them down. Nope, the bridge and all ramps are scheduled to be completely opened by next week, just before the start of Spring Training this year. There are other street projects that were started about the same time, but aren't close to being finished, but since Surprise has a Spring Training facility about a mile from thee new overpass, sporting events are what determined the construction schedule.
