Jen sent me this heads up about the northbound entrance and exit ramps to the Parkway from Revere Avenue:

The northbound on and off ramps at Revere Avenue on the Bend Parkway will be closed Thursday August 7, from 9 am to 1 pm. ODOT crews are performing routine bridge maintenance.

Southbound ramps should be fine.

Here's a story that I would have expected local news to have picked up (other than KOHD, see below): Oregon Man Catches Possible UFO on Video.

Home video from a man in central Oregon showing what appears to be a UFO has experts scratching their heads.

"This is odd, I said, 'I've got to go get my video camera.' So I ran upstairs to the office and grabbed my video camera and the tripod," said Blake Lundstrom. He had been enjoying the view of gliders from the Sunriver airport outside his office sunday morning when what he calls a ufo appeared out of nowhere.

"The glider was just about 1000 feet off the ground here and the object was way up in the sky up here when I first saw it pretty much we are looking due west," Lundstrom said.

He followed the object for 45 minutes as it traveled curving south and then north towards Bend, Oregon.

"It came way out here there until it became so distant and then I lost it.

That first showed up on a Sacramento news site, and then KOHD picked it up later. Kind of an odd story, but it's the kind of thing people usually eat up.

The guy who shot the video—Blake Lundstrom—also left a detailed comment on the site with the date and time he recorded: Sunday the 3rd from 10:30 until 11:15. Anyone else notice this, or anything unusual? Anything to lend credence to the situation?
