How did the chicken get back down?  

With all the money spent "saving" the chicken, I'm sure it will be adopted by Lupi and end up in a burrito.  That's what I'd do with it.

Wow. Strom was actually [i]issued [/i] an '03.

Hope everything goes all white for him up in heaven.

I heard on the radio that he had several Civil War veterans that sponsored him to become a senator! Now that is living history, & I'll bet no other senator can say that of themselves.

Very cool what they can do with a tractor fitted with GPS.

I saw on the tube where the chicken/balloon contraption got caught up in some power lines. A cop brought it back down with a BB gun.

Good stuff as ususal Jonny.   Bummer that Helois crashed.
