I hope the engineers working on this project have the right training.  They are going to under a lot of pressure.
That may be difficult to gauge....................

If they aren't trained right, they should switch before crossing that line.

Fore!
My doctor told me to go out and kill people.
Well, sort of.  He told me to reduce the stress in my life.

We're not getting any traction on this subject.



If you run anthracite coal does it put you in fuel class?
Well, it used to be Los Angeles . . . 50 miles north of Fresno now.
Just remember . . . It isn't life or death.
It's bigger than life or death! It's RACING.

Looks like the engineer had a real blast piloting the one in the picture!

My great uncle was an engineer in that area around that time . Who ever the engineer was it must have really gotten their attention .
