I haven't posted on mailing lists because I have been thinking far too hard about what's going on and refreshing constantly online. I have been talking about this on Facebook though, and want to pull in more people who might pray for the people of my hometown(s), if you are so inclined. Yes, I am agnostic. That doesn't mean that I can't hope and pray.

Some of you, even outside the country, may have heard of the "Oso Mudslide" on State Road 530 Saturday morning, in Washington State. Oso is not actually a town, just a wide spot in the road. The slide happened between Arlington, where I graduated from high school, and Darrington, where I grew up and my family lives. It was between mile marker 37 and 38. I lived at MP39 for years in my 20s. There is over a square mile under mud and debris, some places 20 or maybe even 50 feet deep. 



Maida, I have no words for you, but that doesn't mean I'm not thinking of you and your people.
