Default Bridge collapse in minneapolis...

Tragic. That is what it is.

Two Rotary meetings ago an engineer with the highway department spoke, he manages about a 10 county area, I think. He concluded by mentioning what he called a "brain drain". There aren't enough kids coming out of college with engineering and physics degrees to our infrastructure maintained, nor to teach in years to come. Terrorism safeguards deter foreign professors from teaching at our colleges, it is more difficult to get those folks over here to teach.

Sympathy goes out to the victim's up there, and their families.
