The Thunderduck Metal Camp at Richland College in Dallas this week teaches 12- to 16-year-old students the ins-and-outs of the manufacturing process.



The camp is sponsored by the Nuts, Bolts and Thingamajigs Foundation. Instructors hope it will spark an interest in two rapidly declining fields: engineering and machining.



"They're all old and retiring, so we need to spark an interest in engineering and machining and train some young individuals to replace those older individuals about to retire," said Brian Fleming, an instructor.

If the city workers did that more often (with much deeper sewer lines) the _real_ problem might go away sooner.

I hope the city doesn't get slammed because of some brainless girl.

Let's hope the DA and judge don't let it into court in the first place.
