We're fine
That's a Minnesotan's way of saying, "Holy sh*t, the I-35 bridge collapsed!" So far, I'm not aware of any in our circle who were hurt in the collapse, thank God. That bridge is one that my father drove over twice a day to work and back. In fact, he did so yesterday just two hours before the bridge fell. My mother drove across it twice yesterday also, with my four-year-old in the backseat mere hours before the collapse. Yikes! I think many of us who regularly drove that stretch of road feel like we had a close call, even if we were nowhere near it at the time of the tragedy.
Of course, the real focus now is on the families and friends of those who were hurt or killed. Thanks to those of you who have inquired after us...we're fine.

Great to hear from you. . . I was holding off sending an email, figuring you might have gotten a lot of them and that you'd post soon. I had mentally given you another day. But that's a relief to know. What a shock, though!
