End of April Weekend Reads

Here are some stories that caught my eye this week when I wasn't hating on work or trying to plant corn:

Enduring Guilt - ESPN the Magazine.  10 years after the death of Pat Tillman, the pain lingers in the survivors.

Study: Western Hills Viaduct one of nation's worst - Cincinnati Enquirer.  Our Crumbling Infrastructure, vol. 4528.

Newark Bears Items Going Going.... - New York Times

How Did Canada's Middle Class Get So Rich? - The Atlantic.  An interesting piece covering Canada's housing bubble and the ongoing evisceration of the middle class in America because of increasing income inequality (see chart below).

Mystery Science Theater 3000: The Definitive Oral History of a TV Masterpiece - Wired

Magical Sour Cabbage: How Sauerkraut Helped Save the Age of Sail - Modern Farmer

What Actually Happens While You Sleep, and How It Affects Your Every Waking Moment - Brain Pickings

!Ay, Chihuahuas! - Grantland.  El Paso blew up its city hall to build a minor league baseball stadium.  Baseball trumping government as urban renewal driver. Distracting citizens from society's problems trumps solving society's problems.  It is much, much easier.
