While driving down an East Texas country road I spotted this scene. The autumn trees and the late afternoon sun made these golden bales of hay shine just a little bit more. Fortunately I had my camera with me. (c) James Q. Eddy Jr.

Monkey Knocks Out Power Across Kenya

DAVID GREENE, HOST:

Good morning. I'm David Greene, here to remind a monkey in Kenya to please watch where he steps. The monkey yesterday took a fall right on top of a transformer at a power station. This tripped the transformer and caused a blackout for four hours across the entire nation of Kenya. The BBC reports this should not happen. Power plants in Kenya do have fences that are supposed to keep animals out. As for the monkey, he's fine, being cared for by the Kenya Wildlife Service. It's MORNING EDITION.
