His mom calls him in a panic whenever she hears about an avalanche in colorado.
My crazy mom from Iowa called frantically after 9/11 to make sure I was alright. Mind I was living in Berkeley, CA which is 3,000 miles away from the closest incident.
I'm not sure if this is the case with your buddy, but there seems to be a serious lack of geographical understanding from those living in flyover country.
Nah, every time there's a fire in Malibu, I have at least one family member who calls wondering if my house is going to burn down. I think I can tell the difference between my house in the concrete sprawl of SoCal and a cliffside multi-million dollar mansion on the coast, but apparently they can't.
Not quite as bad as Joker's mom though. I hope you didn't point out how much closer she was, she might have had a heart attack.

On 9/11 I was flying up to Horseheads NY. I got stuck in Philly on my layover. By the time I made it to Horseheads my mother had called my customers and every hotel/restaurant in town looking for me. By the time I got there the rumor mill had chalked me up as one of the casualties for the day. There were no logical clues that could have linked me to any of the airplanes that crashed that day other than I was planning on flying.
First time I came home for winter break in college my mother and sister held a little intervention believing that I was addicted to crack. She saw that I had withdrawn $20 from my savings account on several occasions after reading about how a rock of crack cost $20. Logical conclusion was that I was a crack-head, apparently a crack-head with a 3.8 GPA. If it wasn't for the rock I certainly would have been a 4.0 student.

No. Hardinge used to be my client, I spent about a week every month at their factory until 2004.
Did you visit crabby old Stan and Mike at notubes? I've never actually looked for their tire shop before (probably have moved by now too). The local brewery has some really strong beers.
Never met Mike but visited Stan on several occasions. Never seemed crabby to me. Despite the fact that I was already buying his product he always enthusiastically demonstrated NoTubes by going psycho on a tire with an ice pick. I brought a coworker there to get his wheels converted. To my buddies horror once built up, stan got all stabby on his wheelset. One of the funniest things I have ever seen.
Great documentary - shows how incredibly ineffective the war on terror campaign has been. The DEA helped too so really two costly and ineffective campaign are to blame, the other being the war on drugs. We had numerous warnings about this guy and never did anything until after the fact. Guy got life in prison rather than death penalty:
