    Just looking at the pile of coins it seems like it should be worth more than $1.6MM.

    I mean the gold itself. Surely the historical value increases it greatly.

    They’ll end up, after a lot of drama, with the same formula they use every time they have a trifecta: take away health care and food assistance from low income families and use the money to fund tax cuts for their donors.

      Interesting that the heaviest flow seems to be from Chicago to Cleveland on I90.

              I think the 35/37 corridor in Texas is a little busier.

                    The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

                              The books are a ton of fun. Herron's style is a bit awkward until you get used to it. I've done 5 of them so far.

                                    Half of the silent generation accomplished all three by age 26 or so. Gen-x still hasn’t quite made half by 40. (I barely made it at 40, three months before turning 41).

                                    (Odd that the graph slopes go negative at points- are they subtracting people out for getting divorced?)

                                    They’ll end up, after a lot of drama, with the same formula they use every time they have a trifecta: take away health care and food assistance from low income families and use the money to fund tax cuts for their donors.
