I-35 Bridge Collapse

Mr. Dewey comes in every morning at about 4:45 am to say "good-bye" as he heads to work. This morning he had a sadness in his voice that woke me up more than usual. I asked him what was wrong and he told me about the I-35W bridge collapse. It was on the front page of the Johnson City Press. Tears filled his eyes.



How does one say this, but to say it: we don't know yet, if any of our friends or family were on the bridge - chances are they weren't - but we are still shocked and saddened by the sudden news. We certainly hope that everyone we know and love in the Twin Cities is safe and sound, and our hearts go out to everyone whose life changed near the end of the August 1 rush hour.

It hits close to home.
