Whoa, man!

Help wanted sign at the local mall

15+15=45?

When does 15+15=45? When dealing with Ticketmaster.

Mute Math tickets in Omaha:
FULL PRICE TICKET US $15.00 x 2

Total Convenience Charge(s) US $5.65 x 2

Order Processing Charge(s) US $3.30

TOTAL CHARGES US $44.60

At least they're not charging to have tickets sent in the mail.

Sheesh. I still want to know what a convenience charge is. Convenient for Ticketmaster it would seem.

But Mute Math is more than worth it. I'd gladly write the band a check for $45 and not mess with the middle men.

Bridge collapse

Colleen has good links to the 35w bridge collapse in Minneapolis

I'm left nearly speechless. Hard to make sense of this.

These are always worse, when you have a connection. In this case, family in the twin cities, and personal memories of crossing the Mississippi countless times myself. Prayers to all involved.
