I wonder at how tired and ragged all of the newscasters look today on our local channels. It's hard to believe under these blue skies and mild temps today that there are so many people in Iowa suffering from the floods. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/25020185/
We had our share a couple of weeks ago where I live, but our river has gone down, just barely over its banks.

I wonder at the stories that have come out about the brave boyscouts whose camp was hit this last week. The 4 boys age 12-14 who died were near a very large stone chimney. A pickup was picked up and tossed in the tornado and hit the fireplace completely knocking it over on the boys nearby.

I wonder that it took TWO hours for rescuers to get to the camp because of all the ripped up trees. During that two hours the boys were already saving the others, picking up the debris, performing triage, AND going at the trees to try and meet the rescuers. Many are still in hospitals with serious injuries.

I wonder that Tim Russert's death yesterday just tipped my brain over the edge.
