Did that car burn or is all that charred area from the turbo belching fire from the exhaust?

Probably the lack of talent among the ranks of SWA's maintenance team.....

The fire is caused by the preservative in the motor. Those are new engines. It's always a show when we light one off for the first time. Funny thing is it only lights off like that when it's cold outside. In the summer its just a bunch of smoke.

Ed, I think we all know who is the King of the Air around these parts. SWA is just a little old regional carrier trying to scratch out a living.

We had a 100 year snowfall last Thursday. Snowed about 18" in less than 6 hours. Down at the Lake boat docks collapsed like a house of cards:

Okay, I'm on a major transit project in L.A. Our crews were working in the streets near a park and this duck would come out EVERYday and hang with the crew. If they were talking he'd stand and watch the back-and-forth of the conversation, like he was waiting to interject. If someone was supervising a work operation, he'd stand next to them and supervise too - watch the work, not the guy he was standing next to. At lunch he would hang with the guys and they would feed him. He was a trip.

Funny, the guys started calling him "Ben" as in Affleck i.e. AFLAC. He was around so long it was standard, "Anyone seen Ben this morning?"
