In other news, the City of Minneapolis rang in the New Year in style - that is to say, with a 3-alarm fire that engulfed an apartment complex downtown in the mid-morning hours. The article mentions that firefighters struggled in the bitter freezing cold, with the water freezing on everything it touched (except the fire, of course). The blaze is still under investigation and there are still some people unaccounted for. Several victims were in critical condition, so my thoughts and prayers are with Minneapolis and her injured residents tonight.
