About 3 years ago. Bought a used car from a dealership. Discovered there was a ball python living in the dashboard, courtesy of the previous owner. As this was a week before Halloween, it made the news, and I was interviewed multiple times.
Invited the news crew into the hangar as it was raining outside. Multiple aircraft behind me on the news. The president of the company was home watching the news that evening. Wondered who gave permission for media in the shop. Some of our projects and customers were secret. My manager took the rap. We all laughed after.
I stay in touch with Dave on Facebook.
That's a crazy story, ma man.
I'm not on FB. My whole family and then some are but for some reason I was never attracted to that site, not sure why TBH. It's really good to see you. What about VeilaPekka (I know I butchered his name lol) aka Mustavaris? Ever talk to him? Would be great to get that guy on this board. He was/is an outstanding fella, much like yourself.

So I was reading up on this

In 1978 Boston declared a new parking space freeze to comply with the Clean Air Act. So with electric cars on the way to becoming mainstream I wonder how long it will take for “Electric Only” garages to start springing up causing an uproar by the current parking garage monopoly owners who will argue they should be shutdown. A court case will be lodged with the new garage owners claiming the restriction was ONLY due to the Clean Air Act and since electric cars don’t pollute they should be excluded from this law restricting parking. I can see this mess happening.
That would definitely cause an uproar. And I'm sure you noticed more than I do that electric cars are overwhelming the downtown areas more and more each year. I'm not much of a fan even though I consider myself someone who cares a lot about the environment, I think emissions restrictions have worked well and need to improve with time, but I'd hate to see the downfall of gasoline-powered vehicles. I'm sure it won't happen in my lifetime but the aggravation of the change like the above you mentioned will certainly start to impact us.
