When it comes to phone apps, I'll be the first to admit I'm not the next generation. I'm at best the past generation and hopefully not the lost generation.

An escaped patient of the North Dakota State Asylum was found on May 6 in 1916. The patient, Clarence McCord, escaped from the asylum five months earlier during a severe blizzard, and was believed to have frozen to death after a search party did not find him. Grand Forks County Judge was therefore surprised after receiving a call from Iowa informing him that McCord had been found in his childhood town months earlier. Since McCord escaped without any money in sub-zero temperatures, authorities...
