Amazing.

I listen to a radio show out of Seattle and there was a lot more to the story then what they reported. Turns out SW Airlines is really trying to save face. Anyway, basically, this nine year old kid wants to get back to Texas to live with his Grandpa. So, he steals a neighbor's Acura, out runs the police in an 80 to 90 mph chase (while being stuck in 3rd gear) apparently nine year olds aren't very good shifters, ditches the car, runs to the airport, answers the page of another passenger, get's on board and catches two more connecting flights in two other cities. His destination was Dallas and he made it to San Antonio. This kid is my hero.:D
