Crash on the Red Line is in an area we'll travel through several times a day over the next 4. On our original schedule, we'd have been going the other direction right about the time of the crash.

The aftermath will be inconvenient for us. But I'll take inconvenient over what 9 families are going through, or what hundreds of others who were hurt are dealing with today.

There but for the grace of God go I.

Things like this are the reason all in our party carry an emergency medical paper, identifying each of us, who we're with, and giving the essential info doctors need, if we're unable to communicate. And numbers to notify at home if the worst should happen.

Cristi is staying with my brother Todd, his wife Sherra and their family in Edmond, OK while Pat, Roxan & I go to the East Coast. Previous experience tells us she’d be bored silly with a lot that we plan. Her sis was when we did a similar DC tour at this age.
