Balloon Update:
That balloon that flew over us yesterday in hopes of becoming "the first hydrogen open basket gas balloon to cross the Atlantic" had a setback late yesterday morning. The statement they put on Facebook says: "It is with a heavy heart that we have to inform you that The Torabhaig Atlantic Explorer Balloon has been forced to land near Cardross, Prince Edward Island, Canada at 1415UTC with a suspected gas leak. All 3 crew members are safe."
So it looks like this mission is scrapped... no word on if they'll attempt a new mission and what the time frame would be for that. Check their links for updates...

Nice write-up from the Telegraph Journal about our former mayor, Dawn Arnold, being sworn in as a senator. The piece talks about how Mayor Dawn Arnold became Senator Dawn Arnold and talks about how she hopes to get to work on improving housing and immigration issues.
