Death Rates Rising for Middle-Aged White Americans

Thanks for the links. This from the last link:

   "To walk the streets of Austin during tech’s biggest annual confab, South by Southwest Interactive, is to experience a society where Boomers and Gen Xers have vanished into a black hole. Photos of those open-space offices favored by start-ups document workplaces where people over 35 are as scarce as women on the streets of Kandahar."

At least made me chuckle against the backdrop of an otherwise serious topic. Well-written piece.

This is funny.

Also funny -- I worked in Austin in the late 1990s and early 2000s. Looked the same then. When I was stressed out one evening, I joked with my wife that I was tempted to run over a few of the yuppies. With so many, who would miss a few?

So wonder where all those guys went?

On a related note, this weekend might be a good time to re-watch Logan's Run.

Sorry, I won't be at Carousel tonight. It's my Love-Shop turn.
