Max Armstrong is in Nebraska at the Red Power Roundup. However, Steve Alexander ponders what happened with International Harvester? This year marks 39 years since the company went under. Most would agree bad management was behind the company's demise. However, the power of the brand runs strong in younger generations with many sporting the infamous International Harvester logo on caps and other items.

One piece to know is that IH also made guns in the 1950's for the U.S. military-- the company built 350,000 M1 rifles.

And in Lake County Illinois, a man was charged with a felony for shooting himself with a 357 magnum. The man said he dreamed someone was breaking in and shot himself in the leg. The reason he was charged with a felony is because in Illinois, it’s a crime to possess a firearm or ammunition without a FOID card. The man's FOID card was not valid.

And Alexander has a tip for those entering the radio business-- someone asked about sharing strange things people do in their sleep. He says have your finger on the dump button because you never know what funny, strange and sad things people do in their sleep.
