- “When voters get confused, they vote no.” That almost seems like a sensible tack to take if you overlook just abstaining while in a voting booth. Abstaining is exactly what residents of an upstate community will be doing soon, because they were voting on a resolution regarding whether or not beer should be allowed to be sold in their town. Now it’s a dry town.

I hope that the parents of "Ziggy" the baby red-tail hawk will be able to find him.
Although he was found near the Ziegfeld Theater (55th St), he was released into Central Park at 66th Street--more than 10 blocks away! Ziggy was also away from his parents for about a week. Although his parents appeared to be intently searching for him at the beginning, it's not clear that they are still looking for him since so many days have gone by. The baby hawk would find it difficult to survive without their help because he had just fledged and hadn't yet acquired the necessary flying and hunting skills.
