We're All Right

The heavy rains yesterday did send some of our friends back into evacuation mode, but we're fine. Whew... and now begins the cleanup...

That's John in the shorts, Hawaiian shirt, glasses and mustache.

We're starting to dig friends and neighbors and anyone else out that needs help. John's actually coordinating a huge number of people through our church to just get bodies where they can be used, and the outpouring of support has been amazing.

The Longmont Foundation has been a long-time organization that takes all kinds of charitable contributions from industry, the community itself, and personal contributions and uses them for the good of the City of Longmont. They've organized a fund that will use 100% of its proceeds for the relief for flood victims, and I've had a long enough personal history with the organization to know that they'll deliver exactly as promised. If you're looking to help us, this is the best way to do it.
