   Yeah I talked to all my other friends in Joplin and they are OK, but no word on Hangfire. Lets keep all those folks in our prayers.
A Hessian captain (one of the 30,000 German mercenaries used by England) wrote in 1778, "Call this war by whatever name you may, only call it not an American rebellion; it is nothing more or less than a Scots-Irish Presbyterian rebellion."

"I need not take much pains to show, that the principles of this system, are extremely pernicious, impolitic, and dangerous. Here is a revolution as radical as that which separated us from Great Britain."  "I Smell A Rat!"  Patrick Henry

"Because they transgressed My covenant, And against My law they have rebelled... They have made kings, and not by Me, They have made princes, and I knew it not"  Hosea 8:1 and 4
"Blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD; and the people whom he hath chosen for his own inheritance."  Psalms 33:12

I'm Fine. I did not have any damage, all my family is accounted for, it took till last night to make the final account but everyone safe. This is the first computer access that I have had and am not sure when I will be able to get back on as this is a borrowed computer. I greatly appreciate the concern and really can not wait to get to Washburn in a couple of weeks.

Hangfire,

So glad to hear that you and your family are all ok.  We were definitely worried about you.  I wish all of the news coming out of Joplin was as good.

Let us know if you need anything...

Thank you, Mods, for cleaning up the mercifully unneeded information.
I was afraid that the Washburn shoot would need to turn into a S&R operation.

Again, Thanks be to God!

I have always heard that a picture is worth a 1000 words if that is true than seeing the raft  of nature at it's worse first hand is worth a million mind numbing,  heart breaking, indescribable words. There is no one in this area that will be left untouched by the devastation that took place at 5:41 PM May 22.

The company that I work for employees about 425 there was 28 families that lost homes. At last news one employee was killed and one employee lost their father.
I did not get a total count how many homes were lost in our church family but it was somewhere around 20-25 with one church member killed.

Three of my cousins lost their houses (3) plus 2 rentals, a welding shop, an electrician business, barn, out buildings trailers, tractors, trucks, cars, vans and 30 cows.

But other than 16 staples and a pint of blood for my 81 year old cousin everyone made it through.

Thanks again for the concerns.
SEE YOU IN WASHBURN :---

Hangfire,

Thanks again for the update, we've all been thinking and praying for you since we got the news. One or your trucking companies has a branch office here in Indiana and is loading up another semi-trailer with supplies to bring your way.  A lot of us have been working to get it filled and headed your way.

Criticism is the only known antidote to error.  David Brin

What a nation has done, a nation can aspire to.
Dr. Jerry Pournelle

Throughout history, poverty is the normal condition of man. Advances which permit this norm to be exceeded — here and there, now and then — are the work of an extremely small minority, frequently despised, often condemned, and almost always opposed by all right-thinking people. Whenever this tiny minority is kept from creating, or (as sometimes happens) is driven out of a society, the people then slip back into abject poverty.

This is known as "bad luck."
---Robert Anson Heinlein
