In 1984 three friends and myself drove down to Myrtle Beach from Vermont for a weekend of golf in the beginning of March. When we got down to Albany it started to snow lightly and quickly accelerated to a blizzard. While driving down the Garden State Parkway or the Jersey Turnpike, I don't remember which, we got behind a grouping of plows like the one pictured. The plows weren't attached to trucks though they were attached to the front of cement trucks. Still worked but looked funny. I can tell you that if you want to get ahead of the plows you had to go all the way up to the first truck and then quickly drive through the pile of snow that they left behind. If you tried to cut in front of the final one you were taking on a pretty significant pile of snow and it would have a pretty good chance of stopping you and then you would have to answer to that last plow in the line. I thought it was a very clever way to clear multiple lanes quickly. We didn't have that system in Vermont because we had almost no more the two lane highways. All we needed was a plow in the right lane pushing snow to the right and another on the left side pushing snow to the left. It didn't matter what sequence they went in as long as they left space between them so the brave and sometimes the absolute foolish a place to go around them.

When my DD graduated from UofI early it was a few days before Christmas. She didn’t have finals as she graduated with high honors so she came home for a week with half of her dorm stuff.

We drove back with my Mom the morning before and my son, GF and Dad came down that night. It was raining all day of graduation.

I drove my truck back home loaded with Dad, DD, and my Mom. My son and GF took my Moms Car. It is about a 3 hour drive 3.5 the way I drive. And it started to turn to snow the heavy wet stuff. I have 4x4 so she was handling better than some other vehicles. I long lost sight of my son ahead of us. Then 3 plows merged in ahead of us on the two lane highway. Plowing and salting. That was the first time I ever saw plowing like that and grateful. My son was apparently ahead of the plows and beat us back to my Moms house in Grandmas Monte Carlo 30 minutes before us. If he made it that quick I am glad I couldn’t see them. I let him drive us back to our house.

I do not even understand how this can even happen.

My guess that the tenders are usually precooked and only needs to be fried for a few minutes.
But this time whatever company made the tenders, they sent them raw.

Considering how brown the breading is. That is in my mind the only way that could have happened (I worked as a line cook for a few years)

Only alternate I can also think of.. The tenders were frozen solid with ice chunks.
Instead of frying them first slowly to thaw them... they tried to fry fully at full power for a few minutes, enough to brown the outside but not cook the inside.

In other news.. Lol.. Seems Boeing is at it again..

2 engines (one of 777 and one of a 747 cargo) blew and were on fire in different events this weekend.
And now the FA is thinking grounding a few models that use the specific engines for risk of explosion and failure.

Normally these events are not that bad. But in both cases they were uncontained failures (where the cowling failed to contain the explosion or damage, and thus can cause severe damage to planes and rain debris on the land)
