Closer yet

I mentioned the other day that I have friends who live in Minnesota. Since then I have learned that one of my friends, a Lutheran youth minister who was out of town at the time of the bridge collapse, normally drives over that bridge on his way from home to work and back every day. His life will now be disrupted by the traffic problems, but he himself is safe.

On the other hand, today I ran into one of my Ho-Chunk friends in Baraboo. He just returned from the funeral of a cousin who died in the disaster.

Closer and closer...
