California's state and local
governments are rarely discussed these days without the pall of budget
cuts looming, but apparently the Los Angeles County Museum of Art is
safe because it is spending a reported $1.5 million to move a big rock
in from Riverside, about 60 miles away. It's a 340-ton boulder that the
museum intends to display above a sidewalk ("Levitated Mass"). The move
will require a 200-foot-long trailer with 200 tires, with one
semi-tractor pulling and one pushing, at night, maximum speed 8 mph.
