Get Well, Steve Konrad-

Tragic Accident Leaves KSTP-AM Program Director in Coma:

ABM sends best wishes for a speedy recovery to Mr. Steve Konrad, pd of KSTP-AM in Minneapolis-St Paul, who was critically injured in an accident last Thursday night, on his way home from work. Mr. Konrad was riding his bike on I-94 when a mattress, strapped atop a cage suddenly flew off, and directly into the his path, effectively blocking his view, causing the crash. Doctors have him sedated for the time being. Friends, well wishers may send flowers by calling 651-647-1500, and speak with the receptionist.

Every year or so, my hometown, plagued by interstates, experiences a nasty accident scene of a similar nature to the above story. The last time, it was an 8-foot step ladder laying in the middle of the eight lane. A vehicle roof is no place for a mattress, or any other object. We'd appreciate it if cops would write up this type of highway infraction, and lighten up on those easy speeding tickets, but our thought will likely fall on deaf ears, it's always about the money, isn't it?
