82. Thank you so much Usonian

I'm just incredulous at the response you all have been a part of.

If you ever wonder why I believe in miracles, it's because I'm living one right now. What OmahaSteve started and you all have continued has made the last 31 hours and 58 minutes the most amazing thing I think I've ever witnessed. Certainly on a personal level.
I'll be posting more tomorrow. Thank you seems so simple a term that doesn't quite capture the magnitude of what I'm feeling as there is so much more than gratitude emotionally hitting me right now.

The collective power of DU is immense and priceless. Such a perfect display of We Vs Me. Also so present is the empathy that is here, not just here, but practiced here, so often every day on so many levels.

The pulse of Du is........
