.Joplin.

As you know, my heart and soul belong to Portland - but my blood, my family, my roots...that comes straight from Missouri. My thoughts are there today after a giant tornado leveled Joplin {which is about 3 hours south of my hometown of Saint Joseph} killing 116. If you want to help please text the word "REDCROSS" to 90999 {the American Red Cross} or "JOPLIN" to 80888 {the US Salvation Army} to donate $10.00 for disaster relief.
