Local News

Amazing what you miss without newspaper, radio, or other sort of contact with the outside world. (Wait, internet should count...) Such as a ton of bird deaths in downtown Austin. No worries; it doesn't appear to be dangerous. Some people speculate intentional poisoning. It's possibly even more telling, as far as my own activities, that I have no idea (beyond the article's description of crow-like and annoying) what a grackle is.
