You must be lost, jughead, all the condors are in Northern California.  And, I am pretty sure ol' Warph lives in a gated community, so lots of luck getting in.

That gate is to keep him from getting out. Very common out there.

Did You Know-------It has now been over 100 days since there was an assault on one of our local citizens? Witnessed by two individuals, in daylight hours. Two men pulled another man off a running tractor when he was doing volunteer mowing for the city of Elk Falls, and beat him. Reports were filed witness statements taken and NOTHING has been done.......way to go Elk county, I'm so damn proud to live here.

Perhaps the victim refused to press charges.  The law cannot do anything without a warrant and a warrant won't be issued unless there is sufficient evidence to show cause, such as witnesses or the victim.  The law can investigate a complaint, but unless an eyewitness is willing to testify, there is nothing that the law can do.  Was there a complaint filed?  Was there a warrant issued?  Why hasn't the public heard more about this including names of victim and assailants.  Something like this has surely hit the grapevine.  The victim has to take the responsibility of testifying if he wants anything done.

@Diane, you are probably right.  However, in using Google Earth, I did see a big sign on the gate that says.

NO SALESPEOPLE ALLOWED
NO JEHOVAH WITNESSES ALLOWED
NO PETS, (EXCEPT SERVICE ANIMALS), ALLOWED
AND ESPECIALLY..............



NO MARINES ALLOWED.

You forgot mormons.  I have alerted security (former AP's) at the front gate that a grunt is on the loose.  They wanted to know what he looks like and I told them to picture a Arizona Condor, red beak and all, and likes to sit in palm trees and crap on sidewalks.
It will cost me a few beers but what the hey.. better to be safe from condor poo, than sorry.

(How about dem Denver Broncos... Tebow might be for real)

....that:
•The largest animal that ever lived is also currently living -- the blue whale.
•The world consumes 2 quarts (approx. 2 liters) of oil per person per day.
•If Earth was the size of a basketball, the moon would be the size of a tennis ball and they'd be 25 feet apart.
•For every 100 girls born in China, 119 boys are born.
•Of all the people in history that have reached 65 years of age, half of them are living right now.
•If Earth's life was compressed into one year, then humans would have been around for only 2 seconds.
•The Middle East's population almost tripled over the last 30 years.

....that Scientists create strands of "Invisibility Cloak" .... This video demonstrates an "invisibility cloak" that can make objects beneath it disappear.  Scientist Ali Aliev at the University of Texas in Dallas is working on a technology that uses thin threads of carbon nanotubes that, when heated rapidly, makes it look like the objects under the tubing disappear.  This technique uses the "mirage effect."  When the carbon tubes get extremely hot, their surface bends light around it and "hides" the object.  This big change in temperature over a small distance bends light rays so they're sent towards the eye tricking the brain into thinking the rods are invisible.  Experts say this technology can be used for military tanks and planes with temperature-sensitive plates.

....that China is the world's biggest english-speaking nation?  Or that India has more people with IQ's over 120 than the total population of the USA?  Or that a home computer in 2049 will have more computing power than the total human species of 2011?
