FAA investigation called Boeing 787 safe; now will help Japan investigate 787

[No Elephants]

Remember when I posted about how the FAA had investigated the 787 and decided it was safe?

Well, now Japan is investigating and the FAA and the National Transportation Ssfety Board kindly went all the way to Japan to help Japan investigate.

Aren't the FAA and the NTSB just swell to help Japan like that?



(Psst. Run, Japan, run.)

1. Now now. We know the Japanese don't have the technical sophistication

to do such an investigation. :eyes:

2. Even I have the technical sophistication to do that investigation--and

you've seen how well I do with a laptop keyboard.

But, I am sure that the Japanese are grateful for help from the U.S., given that the FAA has already declared the Hindenberg--I mean the Dreamliner--safe.

3. The Spousal Unit

bought me one of those compressed air spray cans for cleaning the keyboard. Well, after she brought it home I felt I had to use it once to show that I appreciated her thinking of me. And I do appreciate her thoughtfulness, truly. But the spray didn't have much effect. But then my keyboard was brand new, almost.

Now, several years later, I picked up the can that I had completely forgotten about and gave the keyboard a good spray. OMG, my keyboard has become transformed into the updated sporty model. Give it a try.

4. Thanks for the suggestion. I will keep it in mind.

Right now, though, the keyboard is fine.

The fault is not in my stars (or my keyboard), but in myself.

The issues with my posts are a combination of poor eyesight, absence of typing skills and being too impatient to use spell check. And, then, sometimes, I am only half awake.

I've tried to improve my typing, but failed.

But thank you for being kind.
