What happened in Sweden?
Nothing. Nothing happened in Sweden. President Trump had many confused after he referenced the country Saturday at a rally in Florida. Many believed the president was alluding that a terrorist attack took place in the country the day before:
"You look at what's happening in Germany. You look at what's happening last night in Sweden. Sweden, who would believe this? Sweden. They took in large numbers. They're having problems like they never thought possible. You look at what's happening in Brussels. You look at what's happening all over the world. Take a look at Nice. Take a look at Paris."
The Swedish Embassy's official Twitter Account quickly responded to assure people that no such terrorist attack had taken place:
"Unclear to us what President Trump was referring to. Have asked US officials for explanation."
Even the former Prime Minister of Sweden, Carl Bildt, spoke out via Twitter suggesting that the President may have been 'smoking' something.
On Sunday, The Deputy White House Press Secretary, Sarah Sanders, told reporters that President Trump was referring to rising crime rates in the country, and no specific incidents. Trump himself later tweeted that he was referencing a story from Fox News that was concerning immigrants and Sweden.
Miracle @ Mayo
Back in June, Mayo Clinic preformed a face transplant procedure. The procedure, which is extremely rare, and the first for Mayo, took 56 hours and 60 Medical Professionals. This past week the story of the recipient, Andy Sandness and the donor, Calen Ross became public. Both men suffered from severe depression. Sandness had attempted suicide and failed 10 years ago. The attempt had made him horribly disfigured from the eyes down. Calen succumbed to his depression and took his own life in June. His widow carried out his wish to be an organ donor. I urge you to read and watch the story here.
On a personal note, I happened to sit next to Andy at a restaurant in Rochester this past weekend. You would never know that he had suffered horrible disfigurement or that he underwent a grueling life changing procedure. He just seemed like a happy guy out to dinner with friends enjoying a night out. It was amazing to see the miracle of medicine firsthand.

I have yet to have a bad experience with an Airbnb, in fact I stayed in a cute bungalow this weekend in Rochester for way cheaper then any hotel. So...if today gets rough and you need something to look forward to, why not plan a vacay?
Bummed it's Monday?
