By Jim Carter
A family in Torrance, California, found themselves dealing with unwanted guests last week when several hundred migrating birds, uh … dropped by, swooped down their chimney and took up residence in their living room while they were out.

The COVID restrictions imposed on personal contact have hurt the Christiansburg, Virginia, Girl Scouts’ effort to sell their famous cookies this year, especially with deliveries. To the rescue: Wing, a drone company that has teamed with the Virginia Skyline Council to help alleviate the problem. The girls prepare the packages and handle the logistics, but don’t actually pilot the drones. (That’ll come next.)
