In the totally useless information department: The interstate highway system requires that one mile in every five be straight. These straight sections were designed to function as airstrips in times of war or other national emergencies.

And, just a note to let readers know that I have been diagnosed with low-grade breast cancer. I found out on March 22 after discovering a lump on the right breast a month or so ago. I went in for a mammogram and a biopsy right away so found it early. I had an appointment with a surgeon on April 6 and another appointment with an oncologist on April 19. I'm just playing the waiting game now. I'm not too worried. If it was really bad, I would already be in for surgery or treatments. Please keep me in your prayers.
That's all the news from the Edge of Wright.
