Marc. M. Keyser, accused of coast-to-coast mailings of more than 120 hoax anthrax packages, was released on bail Friday over the strong objections of a federal prosecutor.

U. S. Magistrate Judge Kimberly J. Mueller ordered Keyser released on a $25,000 unsecured bond signed by him, his sister and brother-in-law.

Mueller ordered Keyser, 66, to maintain a log of everything he mails and make the log available to a court officer upon request.

3. Actually Sacramento is relatively normal

It feels more Midwest than a lot of California, though more racially diversified. (I'm originally from Illinois.) Sacramento is affectionately called Cow Town!

5. Oh yeah

So maybe, they just don't have room for this looney-tune!
