Theodore Wind Bridge in Little Falls

Driving over the Mayor Theodore Wind Bridge in Little Falls, that was built south of rather then upon Moss Island, carrying NY 169 to the Thruway, providing this dying industrial city access to the superhighway. For being a highway bridge built in 1980-1982, it's a remarkably graceful bridge that crosses the Mohawk River, Barge Canal, Old River Road, and the Railroad Tracks. The first part of this video is Old River Road, from the Sewage Treatment Plant to NY 5.

Does This Homemade Electric Mousetrap Work?

This trap has some problems. For one, when the mouse touches the trap, the fur limits the the amount of current passed. Second, because this uses alternating current, every 120th of a second, the voltage drops to zero, which gives the mouse a chance to get away. Third, the initial shock is not lethal because most of the current doesn't pass through the heart. Moral of the story -- most modern electric mouse traps use direct current and an ever higher voltage to break down the resistance of the fur.
