San Bernardino, California
After UTE, we went by the old Cal Disposal yard to see if the yard was still around, and if so, what was in it. They managed to shove practically the entire San Bernardino fleet inside this yard, so it is packed full with Labries and some of the old Cal trucks. We were surprised to see that the Heils were still there. The supervisor on duty was really nice but had to assist a driver with something so couldn't show us around.

The last two Chargers are brand new and are on their way east to Delaware for testing.

Happy Saturday for Stairs!!
I'm fond of this particular staircase. It has unusually short--and broad--risers, and so it is a joy to ascend. It also has a ramp alternative adjacent. Last evening, I watched a girl descend the stair using crutches. She made good progress and seemed to appreciate the low risers; maybe she didn't notice the ramp? Or she just wanted a challenge!
For the second consecutive year, the U.S. Marshals Service has conducted a high-impact national fugitive apprehension initiative focusing on the country’s most violent offenders. This six-week initiative, called Operation Violence Reduction12 (Operation VR12), resulted in the arrest of more than 8,075 gang members, sex offenders and other violent criminals.
While Operation VR12 was conducted nationwide in all 94 federal judicial districts, U.S. Marshals focused special attention on 12 selected locations, designated as priority cities by the U.S. Department of Justice: Baltimore; Brooklyn, New York; Camden, New Jersey; Chicago, Illinois; Compton, California; Fresno, California; Gary, Indiana; Milwaukee, Wisconsin; New Orleans; Oakland, California; Savannah, Georgia; and Washington, D.C.
In order to have the greatest impact on violent crime, Operation VR12 focused on fugitives who had three or more prior felony arrests for crimes such as murder, attempted murder, robbery, aggravated assault, arson, abduction/kidnapping, weapon offenses, sexual assault, child molestation and narcotics. Operation VR12 investigators increased their focus on fugitives accused of sex crimes and on the recovery of missing children.
Between February 1 and March 11, the U.S. Marshals Service used its multi-jurisdictional investigative authority and fugitive task force network to arrest 648 gang members and others wanted on charges including 559 for homicide; and 946 for sexual offenses. In addition, investigators seized 463 firearms, $390,360 in currency, and more than 71 kilograms of illegal narcotics. Also during the operation, investigators recovered 17 children who had been abducted and reported missing.
