Bob and all the others, I'm doing fine. I had taken all my stuff from there that morning because I planned on switching to a no-smoking room - guess they were all smoking yesterday ( bad taste joke there). The police did not let anyone go down that way, Jim Martin had invited me to the Fiesta Cancun (?) for drinks but I lost him. So I finally decided to head home to Minnesota. Had been thinking of the drivein in Monroe. I was so tired from the heat and all that I got a room in Monroe and then basically slept the night. Got home here in South St. Paul about 1pm today, Sunday.
The others at the Super 8 were, as far as I know, Mark Ruffalo and Taea (sp?) and Kurt & Debbie (?) from Arkansas. Mark had checked out in the morning, not sure about Kurt.
I read in the paper that no one is hurt, but a few had their plans severely interrupted. I'm grateful that there is no human injury and, for myself, that I have everything I brought with me.

I am wondering how the people from the Gathering who were staying at the Super 8 faired?
While we were having a picnic, half of the motel burned to the ground. I didn't find out about it until this morning.
