    We were driving downtown today, and many of the overpasses have graffiti on them.

    On several of them, I have to wonder how it's possible to get the graffiti onto the bridge.

    I snapped this (unfortunately unclear) photo, and you can make out where the graffiti is. You can also see the chainlink fence, which is about 5 feet above the pavement. Also, notice that some of the graffiti is on the bridge above where the light rail tracks are.

    So, how does this get done?

    (Also, notice my heads-up display on the windshield. Speed limit is 55 and I'm doing 15 at the moment.)

    The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

      Coming in on 55?

      I’ve long been amazed at how the taggers get to where they do.

            Pro-tip - if it's too dark, shining a spotlight on them might enable you to take some pics.

            I was only joking
