Sometimes it's difficult for me to believe I've lived here in Mineral Point for eight years, but then I look in the mirror and can no longer deny the passage of time. Yes sirree, a lot can change in eight years.
Back in March 2000, a Southwest Airlines plane arriving from Las Vegas (see accompanying photo) overshot the runway in Burbank, Calif. The wayward jet crashed through an airport fence, careened across a street and ended up next to a Chevron station.
But that's not the most amazing thing about this photo. Check out those gas prices, gang! Behold, the madness of King George!!
