Floating a New Idea For Going Wireless, Parachute Included
This means Space Data must constantly send up new balloons. To do that, it hires mechanics employed at small airports across the South. It also hires farmers -- particularly, dairy farmers. They're "very reliable people," says Mr. Knoblach. They have to "milk the cows 24-7, 365 days a year, so they're great people to use as a launch crew." Space Data pays them $50 per launch. Extra Pocket Money Sharon Hodges, a 60-year-old cattle-and-wheat farmer in Piedmont, Okla., and part-time balloon launcher, says she doesn't know much about technology but liked the extra pocket money. Every day just before sunset, she unfolds a deflated balloon, attaches it to a hydrogen tank and inflates it to about 6 feet in diameter.

Davlin, fellow mayors should stand up to state
Mayor Davlin, you say that "every municipality in the state of Illinois is in the same predicament" as Springfield, regarding the unfunded pension mandates. Why don’t you and all the mayors of the municipalities in the state of Illinois gather together for a rally and march your butts over to the Capitol and demand the General Assembly repeal this and all other unfunded mandates? We put you guys in office to represent the citizens, not to tax us to death. Either stand up to those nitwits or stand down from office. We have had enough of this insanity.
