Two horses got out of their enclosure and wandered onto Interstate Highway 680 near Martinez early Monday morning, according to the California Highway Patrol.

The horses ran down the Pacheco Boulevard off-ramp around 2 a.m. after loose fencing allowed them to break free from their pen, according to the CHP. They were not hit by any passing cars, and were safely corralled by Contra Costa County Animal Services personnel

I am happy to know that Mr. Behan's review of "STID" is now available. Might we know…Read More where it is available? Perhaps I am just an Apple lovin' technopeasant, but despite my frantic serial clicking on text without links, I could not find the actual story. Alas and alack I may never know why there is no darkness in "...Into Darkness" (or Lightness). Oh, and welcome back Jim!
