    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.

    Only non-witches get due process.

      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?)
