I'm OK. You may have heard that the 35W Bridge in Minneapolis collapsed during rush hour. For those who have been trying to get a hold of me, I'm fine. I was nowhere near it. It's a little odd right now. Everyone is kind of shocked. It doesn't make sense to call people other than immediate family, because anyone could have been on the bridge, and people are being asked not to use cell phones, do to the demand.
On an note of a blessing, the school bus on the bridge fell, landed right-side up, and all the children got off without any serious injuries.

Sure. You've seen the backs of coupons, or maybe you sent away for something advertised on the back of a cereal box. Off it goes to the Mythical Land of Young America. Named for the David Bowie song? Probably not.
It wasn't until my friend Rob bought a house near Young America, MN, that I realized it was indeed the land I'd dreamed of since I sent away for the Tony The Tiger doll advertised on the Frosted Flakes box back when I was a tiny lad.
Vox, meet Young America ...
