[SEL] Stupid People

[Fuller & Johnson]

There were THREE people riding on that engine who knew how to operate it when it was stopped.  Someone should have been paying attention to that boiler.

Oh Yeah !!! You're going to tell 2 cops that just pulled you over that
you can't be distracted at the moment.

And - As for not checking out a boiler before firing it - - - I've been
at shows where a Traction Engine was bought - hauled in from another
state - filled with water - and fired.
They were lucky to get a "visual inspection". This is something that
seems to run in the 
blood of "steam barons". Either they feel they "know what they're doing"
or they like living dangerously. And - I ain't the one to question their
ability.
