Cortez has a bridge that connects it back to San Diego, which is an alternate route from the point where Cortez connects on the south end by way of a state highway. Anyways, somewhere or another someone decided to start a rumor that if the bridge ever fell into the bay that it would float. Really? This two mile long fifty foot wide mass of concrete and steel weighing hundreds of thousands, if not millions of tons, would just float in the water???
Ok, lets just roll with this for arguments sake. Suppose that the bridge fell into the bay and was floating there like some bathtub toy, blocking access out of the bay, and one of Navy vessels needed to make their way out to the ocean for whatever reason. They would be shit out of luck right. Nope, that’s where Cortez’s exploding highway comes into play. Some people believe that there is enough dynamite laid under the state highway, which happens to be like a quarter mile wide, to blow a gaping hole in it to let ships pass through to the ocean. Not to mention that this opening would have to be hundreds of feet wide and dozens of feet deep to give a proper berth for such huge ships…
Well, those are my two favorites, but I heard another absurd one from a tourist today. Apparently one of the employees on the ferry that shuttles tourists from San Diego to Cortez is telling people that Cortez has a zero percent crime rate. Really, that’s fucking unbelievable. Literally. So lets assume that this crime rate is averaged throughout the year, thus the city would have no annual crime. I’m amazed that this isn’t national news, a city with no crimes at all!
P.S. - You're welcome to make fun of my shitty drawings all you want. Therein the charm lies.
