It's not been a great month here in this lovely state, and I'd like to ask all you cd-ers to take the time to say a prayer for the folks and families that lost loved ones in the bridge and flooding disasters. I saw the politicians take the soap box, but I'd love to see us normal folk stand up too.
Thanks all..

Amen. I welcomed the cooldown and the rain, but wish it hadnt had that impact.

You guys up there are having a difficult month. Everyone over there has been in my prayers since. So sad.

The bridge collapse has caused Gov. Rell here in CT to take a hard look at the safety of our bridges. About 24 years ago, we too had a section of I-95 fall into the Mianus River, and I remember that like it was yesterday. Too bad it takes a tragedy for our elected officials to do something about it.

Best wishes

If there were some people smart enough to end the war in Washington, the war would be over. And all that money wasted could fix up bridges.

Doesn't make sense that only fools run for office and run the country.
