What has Chuck Norris common with us?

Slovakia has short borders with Austria. But they are very, very busy. Since 1989, when Iron Curtain disintegrated.
Slovak cyclotourists are very fond of Austrian cyclo-routes and so mayor of Bratislava and his Austrian counterpart decided to built a bridge between Austria and Slovakia for them. I visited the place, called Devínska Nova Ves, today.

First sign of some architectonical activity here. Continue…

Poor stork family definitely ended here.

It must have been lovely, quiet place for them for decades…as it is still…

Former socialistic army did not allow anybody just to knock around :)

…but what can silent wings do with noisy machines?

And this is one of the narrowest from several branches of the Blue Danube. As it was always so narrow, many emigrees started their wonderful dream here, using it as escape channel. Now here will be a bridge. Twenty years after many sad things happened here. This what you see is already Austrian bank. Austrians are faster – their part of the bridge is already at the river.

So hopefully we will be as fast to finish the bridge before the end of the world will start.
And what will be its name? In all Slovak polls leads indestructible American heroe Chuck Norris. Yea, yea, that man who is able to grab the hair of bald, the one who is able to take the missed call. Yea, that same man, who was born in his self-built house.
From all stories about this hero I like this one especially – Justin Bieber ended in the hospital after Chuck poked him on Facebook.
So wishing the bridge to get his name. As this poll is about one thing – we are bored with politicians and famous leaders. We believe more to fairy tales. And that´s good. In some way.
