To get back to the UPS plane crash. The NTSB released their prelim report with pictures. I don't know what's going on with airplane maintenance these days, but I don't remember ever seeing engines falling off on takeoff before. https://avweb.com/flight-safety/accidents-ntsb/ntsb-releases-ups-md-11-p...

The senior citizen discounts and AARP texts are not far behind!

Happy Birthday Kit!!!!
Have a wonderful day!
Congrats on 790 everyone!

Gingerale (the drink!) doesn't taste much like ginger.

They will be thrilled you remembered at all! I would.

789!

I think it'll count if we make it on Kit's B-day just the same!

Hi, Shamrock Shamus ! I liked your story. I agree with everything Lemon said! Good writing describes the effect of the scenario in relation to human senses (visual, sound, tactile, taste--you didn't use smell, but that's easily addressed). Great writing combines these in interesting and unusual ways...
