Research -- Haystacks

http://www.missoulian.com/articles/2007/07/30/territory/ter10.txt

Bill McIntosh uses a pitchfork to level the last few loads of hay on one of his stacks last week on the family ranch near Avon. “A loose haystack can sit here for 10 years and the quality of the hay will be the same, but you get any moisture in the baled hay and it will rot,” says McIntosh.

Not the best newspaper grammar, but worth visiting. I've also heard that there are ways of layering hay so rodents don't get into the stack. And a platform under the stack is even better.

Bridge Collapse in Minneapolis --

Many of you have heard that a stretch of I-35W over the Mississippi River collapsed during rush hour today. Over 50 cars went into the drink; six confirmed dead, 28 hospitalized.

If you wish to check on friends in the Sf community, you can go to this check-in site.

Cell phone communication is spotty at best, between everyone dialing at once and (apparently) the phone lines in the bridge snapped. Try e-mail instead.
