Two days in Cedar Rapids, Iowa to take part in Hands On Disaster Relief's post-river flood clean-up work. Most of this appears to involve gutting drywall, insulation, and other structures and elements where obscene amounts of black mold took root and grew for months. I didn't know a thing about this world yesterday. Now, I do. The folks who put this all together have made an impressive space for useful manual labor and attracted a great group of people. I've met several wanderers and independent business owners, and, what else would you expect at a volunteering site, they all rush to lend a hand. More on all that later. We're being given a place to sleep by a local church, Cedar Hill Community Church, with meals made for us by the amazing Pat and laundry service as needed. A huge thanks, it's great going out to work and having absolutely everything else taken care of. There's more demolition work tomorrow, if my body isn't wracked by too much soreness. |

Minnesota.
You know, you did pretty good work. Probably would have been better if you hadn't been away from Minnesota for so long. Massachusetts has worn down your hard-working Minnesotan nature.
Fact: The average Minnesotan has never heard of either Computers or MIT.
Fact: The average Bay Stater is part computer. It's science.
Enjoy your trip. It was great meeting you. Minnesota is watching you.

Goodstart
Sound like your off to a good start. Demo work is good for shaking off all that sitting/driving. You snapping pictures?
