my prayers go out to the people who lost their lives and to the injured.

we have a lot of wmstr familys who live down in the twin cities area. i just hope every one of our wmstr family is not suffering because of a loss or injury either to someone close or a friend they know.

if this is the case, my prayers go out to you and yours.

take care and god bless, karl

Amen Karl...

My brother Stephen has been put on alert. He is a rescue diver from the Carver County team. It sure is a mess down there. One of the clips they are showing over and over again shows a bread truck (semi) on fire. It is a Sara Lee truck. I drive for a a different company, Sara Lee is our competition, but it sure hits close to home for me.

This AM (Thursday) the death toll has been revised down to 4. That would be a miracle if it stands, but I think it will go up again as they start to clean things up.

Lets pray for more miracles.

I'm OK, as are all my family and friends as far as I know at this time, which I'm thankful for. A friend of mine has posted a number of photos by a photographer friend, which are located here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/s4xton/sets/72157601157770382/show/

They are very good photos and show the mess and loss this incident has caused. It really brings it close to home with some of th close up photos he took.

It's a miracle more people were not harmed considering the time of day and the type of accident it was! I learned of this, just as I was going out the door to a photoshoot, where I needed to drive over the I-94 bridge into Wisconsin. People are taking bridges at a slower pace today...
