It is almost like you engineered this piece of reporting for a humorous ending. But then again, you Daniel are no engineer and there for not qualified to analyze this matter.
I’m just an impartial observer, Mr. Casey.
I’m not an engineer, but I did stay at a Holiday Inn Express… one time… a long time ago…
I am an engineer (true story) so all the rest of the commenters in this thread really should defer to me before typing anything. You know, there are data to analyze, equations to be worked out, etc. Leave it to the professionals, folks.
Actually, I do have a B.S. in Aerospace Engineering from the University of Kansas. Rock Chalk! Jayhawk! KU

Okay Bernie we got it, you can stop repeating yourself unless that is an engineering thing then by all means continue, not being an engineer I wouldn’t know proper engineering etiquette. Maybe Councilwoman Williams can give her expert opinion and help resolve this question or Erich could.
Repeating yourself is not only commonplace, but depending upon documentation requirements, it’s mandatory.

Sorry, it didn’t appear the comment posted the first time. Got some kind of an error; so, the engineer in me said keep repeating the evolution until you get a positive reaction.
who care what degrees they have they are all a bunch of airheads who are self-serving and self- absord.

I had the (for lack of a better word) opportunity of living between a NASA Aeronautical Engineer and a NASA Astrophysicist in the early 80’’s. I will always remember the Physicist explain the difference between an Engineer an Physicist, his tale went as followed:
When NASA found that a regular pen would not write in space, NASA assigned their top engineers to develop a pen that the Astronauts could write with in space. After spending months developing and one million dollars in 1960’s dollars, the pen was complete and put into service on all space flights.
The Russian’s when faced with this same problem assigned it to a junior physicist to overcome this problem, After spending less the 10 seconds of thought on this problem the Russian physicist concluded that pencils should be used.
It’s really quite tragic how debutante Lisa Czelatdko is so insecure about her own intellect that she stoops to criticizing others. Not surprising, but as is always the case with this junior councilor, disappointing.
And we call children children and these people adults! Why?
I live with an engineer. I have a plaque that reminds me: “Never, ever, question the engineers judgement”. But I do.
Toot, toot!
