Surely the Tribune has dozens of photos of this breathtaking drama, so why is there not a link to photos or video? Indeed, any time the Trib has photos relatiang to any story, they ought to be linked to the story. Blair, can you do something about this, please?

It's doubtful that you could have taken a clear photo at ground level. The Ironworkers probably wouldn't have welcomed the distraction considering the dangerous job at hand.

My hats off to the Ironworkers. The courage and skill these men have is tremendous. If you want to talk about men with "testicular virility" don't look at some weasely politician, look skyward on a construction site.

They are the backbone of the skilled trades. Without steel and Ironworkers, there wouldn't be any skyscrapers.

For those readers who still receive an analog version of the Trib, there was a great photo of the spire installation on the front page of Sunday's paper, though the black border placed around the photo gave a rather ominous look to the whole event.

Pisces

Whether the excesses of the past few days are catching up with you or you're feeling drained for other reasons, you need as much rest as possible today. Once you get tired, your defenses will be down and you'll start to fret about whatever is currently nagging away at the back of your mind. You're also concerned about the welfare of a certain person, which doesn't help.
