Bridge Accident

In case you haven't heard, a major highway bridge in Minneapolis collapsed today during rush hour. Nick and I don't use that bridge very often, although we would have driven on it Sunday, and we are both fine. As far as I know, so are all of our friends and colleagues in the area, but we won't know for sure about that until later. Our two friends who we think are most likely to take that bridge are both out of town which is a relief. Thank you to everyone who reached out and called. I remember when the San Francisco Bay Bridge collapsed and that freaked me out - this was worse because it's a bridge that I drive on occasionally and used to drive on frequently when I was in college.

Non-bridge news: the green board is up on three sides of our house and the windows are being installed tomorrow! The sliding doors will not be installed until next week because the lumberyard broke one when it came in. ARG! Bacos did not win tonight, but we did have three subs who helped out a ton; Brent, Kari and Brian all earned the All-Heart award for some awesome playing! After the game we ate two plates of cheesy bacon fries as we watched more bridge coverage. YUM! Finally, the Twins lost in extra innings to the Royals tonight, breaking our win streak. They decided to play the game because they didn't want all the people to leave the Metrodome and get in the way of the rescue efforts. Tomorrow's game is post-poned.
