Usually Spring Break occurs about Easter so it's time off for many folks anyway

Brought to you in association with the Boiler, fine purveyor of disconnected posts.

I probably won't be around for sound check after all, it's connected to a food fair somehow and that runs all day. SK Cultural Exchange | Upcoming Events The Artisan Social w/ the Dead South and More
I looked on one of the opener's FB page and the concert has been sold out for 5 days.

One of them just phoned me to come and get his keys, and car. The Dead South don't drink and drive.

Very wise!

A genuine WTF from America today. Everyone was OK, by the way:

Any landing you walk away from is a good one.

steveq

I thought it was a good one if you can re-use the parts ?

SultanOfSwing

This video is the embodiment of that saying

That would be considered a great landing.

Pulaski

Holy crap!

It is remarkable that it managed to hit the traffic light support and neither get snagged by it nor, apparently, damage it.

As an aside, it's nice to see a crazy dash cam video that isn't Russian for a change.

SultanOfSwing

Coming in too hot, but at least straight, I suppose.

I saw it on the news this morning and I was amazed anyone walked away from it but after seeing the video closer up on the computer screen, it appears the fireball was some fuel that spilled from the plane and then caught fire.

The Russian ones are gold, as are the Chinese ones but there are plenty of great American and Canadian dashcam videos of the shittiest drivers a mind can come up with

Have you worked in the Air Zimbabwe maintenance department by any chance. They had a huge heap of scrap outside their hanger at Harare, which double as a spare part horde.

A few months back someone stuck a light aircraft nose first into a huge snow drift on the side of the Cascade mountains. They survived that.

OK, so the moral of the story here is don't fly light aircraft in the Seattle area but if you do, you'll probably survive the crash.

Our school district just hired a new Super, 3 year contract, starting at $170K a year with potential annual increases.

It's not even a big disctrict.

Bonkers.
