Wow! Awesome summary of what happened last week. I really look forward to these reports. The daily news is so chaotic these days, but this weekly summary helps but things in perspective. In addition, despite the fact that I obsessively dig through news sites everyday, there are always a few really interesting and significant stories here that I totally missed. :+1: :+1: :+1:
