OT: Bob Collins you OK?
Saw the news about the bridge collapse and immediately thought of you.
Hope you and yours are OK.
Best wishes.

Minneapolis Bridge collapse
I was just looking at Doug's Oshkosh photos when our daughter called to tell us about the bridge collapse. Our son-in-law is there for computer training. It turns out that he is okay. I then thought of all the Minnesota RV-ers in Doug's photos and said a little prayer for their safety. There will be many families affected by this tragedy and our thoughts and prayers are with them. You guys and gals check in wih us and tell us how you're doing.

A-OK, but geez...an MSNBC link? Geez. That hurts.
http://minnesota.publicradio.org
How 'bout supporting your local RVer? All OK here. I was in the newsroom putting the finishing touches on a 120-picture slideshow of the BBQ when it happened and I'm now working an all nighter (it'll be a 24-hour shift).
Son #2, an EMT, thought he was about to get sent over to the scene but the next shift came on.
In the midst of the tragedy, the emergency response plans were fanTASTIC, as near as I can tell. Not everything is FUBAR out there.
Appareciate the shout out. |

Pete and Alex OK
My family crossed that bridge 6 times today, but never at the wrong time. I cross it twice a day on my commute. Traffic tomorrow will be fun.
I spoke to Alex Peterson tonight and he is fine, too. Will be interesting to see what the cause was.

MPR doing fine work - Thanks Bob
I was at the hangar waxing the plane tonight and the coverage by Bob's organization (Minn Public Radio) was wonderful. Proud to be a yearly donor -

Had our dinner plans not been cancelled at the last minute we'd have probably been crossing that bridge within 5 minutes either side of the time of the collapse. Scary.

Bob, I must admit my first thought on seeing that story last night was wondering where in relation to it you lived. Very glad you're OK.
