| Couple's dream home turns out to be bat cave

And they have learned what might be an expensive lesson about how to buy a home. The 33-year-old Nurse estimates he is currently sharing his newly bought $509,000 West End condo with a dozen to 80 bats. .

Boilermaker, One Week Later
Last Sunday was the 30th annual Boilermaker 15k road race in lovely Utica, NY. This is perhaps the biggest event in central NY during the summer. This year, the Boilermaker attracted over 12,000 entrants along with an elite field of national and international talent. In other words, it's not your average Sunday morning 5k benefit run won in a blistering 19:36 by a guy wearing Teva sandals. If you're interested in the results, you can find them here or use the database found here to find results from prior years along with news clips and such. One of the things I like about this race is the two day long expo. I get to see and meet a lot of people and usually snag a good deal on some running shoes. I also get to pick up our "goodie bags". Boilermaker goodie bags contain all kinds of stuff, the most important being the 12 ounce pub glass with that year's race logo on it.
