Last month, I posted that the town of Buford, Wyoming was up for auction. It sold yesterday for $900,000 to two men from Vietnam whose identities and rationale have not been revealed as of yet. "Buford, Wyo., population 1, sold for $900,000 to two Vietnamese businessmen"

I was THERE when President Ford surrendered to Ho Chi Minh in ’75, man! And D.C. became New Ho Chi Minh City!

And spring rolls in duck sauce became the national food. It was totally worth it.
