@g47g2000cwa.googlegroups.com: Oblig: Breaking news, Chicago Mayor Richard Daley plans to carve giant "X's" into the I-35 Freeway at midnight tonight. Ben Hallert PP-ASEL Good one!!!! But according to the news article in the link, it was 'Chisago'. Is the mayor of Chisago also named Daley? I know, I'm picking on spelling. But it was done more than once. I'm beginning to wonder if many of the stories posted on news sites aren't scanned from print and the OCR software screws up, and of course, no one proofreads the article. I see such silly stupid mispellings every day. Another piece of evidence for scanning is I see a lot of double quotes " turned into two single quotes ''. BTW, that's was one cool and collected student pilot. Cudos to him!

No, they spelled it correctly. They're talking about Chisago, not Chicago. Chicago would be quite a distance from which to send tow trucks to Rush City, Minnesota. ("The plane, which had experienced an engine failure, was towed to the Rush City Airport by Chisago County Sheriff's deputies.") http://www.co.chisago.mn.us/ --Gary |

There is no spelling error - the incident happened in Chisago county, Minnesota. There is also a town of Chisago in Minnesota. Note that if you follow I-35 south from Duluth you don't get anywhere near Chicago Illinois. |
