Piet van Schijndel, who operates a draw bridge in the Netherlands, loves his job of 20 years. The bridge he tends is being replaced, so he bought it and is having it installed in his Heeswijk backyard. “I just think it’s a beautiful bridge,” he said. "I have room at home." After the rebuilding job is complete, he’ll add a pond to the yard. “A bridge has to have water under it,” he explained. (AP) ...And his wife thought a bridge tender never brought his work home with him.
