5 Stories About Chickens
Get ready to meet some very unique chickens. They may be wild, or black, world travelers, or have amazingly long feathers. Great Big Story put five of their best chicken stories together for us.

A Good Day
Then my mother and I went on a road trip to the college town for a star-gazing session with Princess's astronomy class. I got to see Jupiter up close and even make out the bands. We also saw the moon, Saturn, and a lot of constellations. Then Gothgrrl called and we had coffee with her at the school cafeteria -which is open until 11PM. How cool is that?
The third thing I didn't find out about until this morning. I have another grandchild! My stepdaughter gave birth to an 8-pound little girl last night, a few hours away from here. Everyone is healthy. W00t!

Raising the 11foot8 Bridge
A while back, we told you how they were going to raise the 11foot8 bridge in Durham, North Carolina. Now we can watch Norfolk Southern and the NC Railroad Company doing it. How do you raise a railroad trestle? They are jacking it up with a dozen hydraulic jacks resting on top of trellises. Really. Just scooch the whole railroad up eight inches, slip some metal shims in the space between the plinths and the bridge, and then set it down. Next, they have to regrade and align the tracks for some distance from the bridge to make it usable to trains. They have some remarkably specialized machinery for those jobs. I guess we'll have to call the this 12foot4 bridge from now on. (via Boing Boing)
