35w bridge collapses over mississippi...

incredible video account of bridge
collapsing..click here

gary called me right after it happened.
i was attending the NACE outing on lake
minnetonka...we were just getting ready
to board the boat for a buz around the
lake when he called.

i grabbed the mic and made an announcement.
it was quite surreal. "what?", everyone
said...and i repeated the information that
i was given...not many televisions around
so we couldn't get a glimpse of any of it.
we all decided that we would continue on
with the event.

the good news is that i won all the big
raffle items while out on the boat.
2 separated overnight stays, one at the
bloomington sheraton and the other at
the airport hilton in bloomington.
oh, and a yummy starbuck's gift card!'
thanks NACE! i guess i'll see you next month!
here's some shots from last night...
