A memory for Lloyd Young, picture editor at the Boston Globe, who died last Saturday in a bicycle accident near Bloomington-Normal Illinois.

He was my Best Man - twice.

If your goal as a government is to prevent death rather than enable and accelerate it, it's amazing what you can do.
Helsinki (pop 657,000) has not had a single traffic death during the last twelve months.

Stupidity, warned Carlo Cipolla, wields more power than any organized gang or industrial military complex and seems to be a constant force in history.

In other words, the non-stupid should never underestimate the role of stupidity in world events, writes Andrew Nikiforuk for the Weekender.

Great article in Chicago Tribune shows all the market forces going against conservation, growing food we actually eat, and small farmers.
Who owns most of the farmland in Illinois? Not farmers.
Less than 25% of Illinois farmland is owned by the farmer who works the land, with the rest leased by individuals, family trusts and, increasingly, investors looking to turn a profit.

Tired of winning yet?
As Wisconsin proved this week, Trump is a lame duck president. Time to get Republicans to vote there's no fake national trade emergency and take the tariff keys out Trump's hands.
