Received via email from Commissioner Rader:

Lane Closures on Clairmont Road at the RR bridge between North Decatur and Starvine 

I was informed today that GDOT is allowing the railroad to close one lane in each direction on Clairmont Road for repairs to the RR bridge.  The lane closures are scheduled to begin on Wednesday, May 16th at 9am and will continue to be closed until the work is completed.  

The work is scheduled to be completed Thursday, May 17th in the evening.

GA Power to the rescue

A pine tree toppled across from Medlock Elementary, snapping an utility pole and snagging the power lines.

DeKalb firefighters and GA Power were on the scene soon thereafter. Here are some images of the GA Power crew at work.

"Supermoon" this weekend [May 5]

Space.com reminds us that

The moon will swing in 221,802 miles (356,955 kilometers) from our planet, offering skywatchers a spectacular view of an extra-big, extra-bright moon, nicknamed a super moon. . . . To view this weekend's supermoon to best effect, look for it just after it rises or before it sets, when it is close to the horizon. There, you can catch a view of the moon behind buildings or trees, an effect which produces an optical illusion, making the moon seem even larger than it really is.

 When is that? Almanac.com has the answer:
