Hey, Austin

Look which city made the New York Times today. I love the opening line:
If you have to come down with a strange disease, this town of 23,000 on the wide-open prairie in southeastern Minnesota is a pretty good place to be.
Yeah, so it's got that going for it. Seriously, good luck to the people covered in this article.

I heard about this - isn't it strange???

They're right about Austin being a good place to get sick. Mayo has been very good to my family.

Yuck, what a job--extracting swine brains. However, there are days with these children that I would gladly trade with him.

Mayo has been good to my family too--sister and sister-in-law now work for them. The only complaint I have is with the collection agency they sicced on me after our insurance refused to finish paying for my little helicopter ride.
