Day 474: Columbus time

After the julienne potato class, we drove with my brother to Columbus, where we are spending the night with my sister.  We expected to encounter an intense storm that is barreling across the nation, but it slowed down and we did not have a drop of rain.

A devastating explosion in a fertilizer factory in a small town called West, Texas, killed at least thirty-five people.  It was so huge that it registered 2.1 on the Richter scale.  Homes, businesses and a nursing home were all leveled.  The President spoke at the memorial in Boston and now will be called to again act as pastor-in-chief to another grieving town and state.  So many tragedies!  No time tonight to post pictures.
