It may be good training for the polar bear swim at Rondy next year.

Bye bye L.A.B...

FAA shuts down Juneau airline

JUNEAU, Alaska (AP) _ The shutdown today (Thursday) of LAB Flying Service by the Federal Aviation Administration came as a complete surprise to the company.

Operations director Eric Bennett says the company had no indication anything was in the works.

The airline serves small communities in Southeast Alaska.

Mike Fergus is a spokesman for the Federal Aviation Administration. He says the agency served an emergency revocation Thursday of LAB Flying Service's operating permit over safety concerns.

The airline is grounded for an indefinite period of time.

Bennett says their primary concern right now is with their customers during the busy season and with their employees.

LAB serves Juneau, Haines, Skagway, Petersburg, Ketchikan, Craig and Klawock on Prince of Wales Island, Excursion Inlet, Gustavus, Hoonah and Kake

As you know I don't vote...and I'm not trying to dis or sway anyones opinion. Note the snopes link after the e-mail.

Hello everyone,
As you know I am not a very political person. I just wanted to pass
along that Senator Obama came to Bagram Afghanistan for about an hour on
his visit to 'The War Zone'. I wanted to share with you what happened.
He got off the plane and got into a bullet proof vehicle, got to the
area to meet with the Major General (2 Star) who is the commander here
at Bagram. As the Soldiers where lined up to shake his hand he blew them
off and didn't say a word as he went into the conference room to meet
the General. As he finished, the vehicles took him to the ClamShell
(pretty much a big top tent that military personnel can play basketball
or work out in with weights) so he could take his publicity pictures
playing basketball. He again shunned the opportunity to talk to Soldiers
to thank them for their service. So really he was just here to make a
showing for the American's back home that he is their candidate for
President. I think that if you are going to make an effort to come all
the way over here you would thank those that are providing the freedom
that they are providing for you. I swear we got more thanks from the NBA
Basketball Players or the Dallas Cowboy Cheerleaders than from one of
the Senators, who wants to be the President of the United States. I just
don't understand how anyone would want him to be our
Commander-and-Chief. It was almost that he was scared to be around those
that provide the freedom for him and our great country.
If this is blunt and to the point I am sorry but I wanted you all to
know what kind of caliber of person he really is. What you see in the
news is all fake.

In service,
