Just heard the COOLEST item on the local news!
Our ABC affiliate provides the best local TV news, so I often listen to them. Any way, this morning's news said that 'Zab' and Abby', the Decatur (IL) zoo's bald eagles have a 'guest', an as yet un-named bald eagle who just 'dropped in' sometime Friday. Zab and Abby are both flightless due to injuries, came to live at the zoo after wildlife rehab, and live in an open-air enclosure at the zoo. According to zoo personnel, 'Guest' seems uninclined to leave.

:D

2. LOL!
Yes, and our local newspaper is actually independent, and not chain-owned. What are the odds?

4. Don't have one of their stations here, AFAIK.
Sinclair Broadcasting does own the Springfield and Champaign NBC affilates, however, as a downside...
