None I'm aware of, other than a grandnephew on a dive team to recover
bodies. This is going to be ugly for at least a couple years until they
get a new bridge -- or something, somewhere. Won't be much bother going
to visit Small Child because while I live less than a mile from 35W, I
also live about 4 miles for 35E -- both of which conjoin 40 miles north
of us to become plain ol' I-35 go to Duluth. Means I'll go around
downtown St. Paul instead of downtown Minneapolis. Going to visit
sisters will be a PITA, though. But we're safe, thanks.
