Scott's Electoral projection ...
Tonight we broadcast live from 9 until 11 on Hometown 1340, WLVL and WLVL.com ... but our focus will be almost exclusively local. Of course, I'm still interested in the national election ... and I'm thinking this will be the closest thing we've seen to a blowout in quite some time.
Air Force acknowledges Bird War

Prior attempts at controlling the birds have failed. Personnel have shot "bangers and screamers" at the birds - rockets that can travel hundreds of yards as they give off a siren-like noise, followed by a loud bang. Shotguns have been tried, too.
