Below: the Mississippi River at North Mississippi Regional Park ... along 35W ... just north of downtown Minneapolis.
Disaster boggles the mind. All the superlative descriptive words apply.
At 6:05 Wednesday afternoon we were watching the local news. We were not crossing the Mississippi on the I 35W bridge... as we may have been if we had been going to the Twins baseball game. As we viewed the first coverage of smashed cars and concrete slabs that used to be a bridge that we have crossed countless times since 1967, I cried for those who were there. I suppose I cried for us all.
Always, the loss of life tops the list of loss.
To count the other kinds of loss: today is only Day One of that process. Oh dear, oh dear.
And as always, there will be good stories too; always in the ashes, God is there.

Hi Sunshine,
I am so sorry to hear of the terrible bridge collapse so near to you, you are all in my thoughts.

Oh thank you, Cat.
We appreciate!
Hi Sunshine,
Angela tagged me for the five things meme, not sure if you do memes or not, but if you would like to be tagged, I will tag you, I don't like to tag people if they don't want to be tagged if you get my drift - :)
How are you?
I'm not up to much as you can probably tell from my blog, I hope things are going well for you all :)
Cat
No worms today...
My love has gone away,
The earthworm stands forlorn
a symbol of the dawn
(apologies to Hermann's Hermits :))
Hi Sunshine, please do whatever you like with the fives, I'm not one for hard and fast rules, more one for fun! :)
As for the replies, just reply wherever you like, I do! :)
(I don't actually know what the netiquette is for this - nor do I mind either way)
:)
