To King Kurt and everyone who's posted: On behalf of the people of Minneapolis and the state of Minnesota, I thank you for the well-wishes. Already my fellow Twin Cities residents are rallying to assist those affected by this disaster, and in fact have been doing so since the moment the bridge fell. There are numerous stories about individuals and businesses pitching in time, money, and supplies to help out -- local coffee shops are providing free beverages to rescue/recovery workers, Target has reserved hotel rooms for said workers so they can rest, donations have been pouring into the local Red Cross, and on and on. For as tragic a story as this is, I still can't help but feel somewhat uplifted by the actions and responses of my fellos residents and neighbors.

Oh, and before I forget: KukriKhan, I'm exceedingly glad your daughter's okay.
