The last thing you want to see in the waiting area at BWI is a headline on the Weather Channel that reads "Tornado Warning" in front of a map of Florida, but the worst of it was up in the Jacksonville area, so all it did was force a course correction that got us into Fort Lauderdale a little late. It also made the ride a little more interesting, but in the world of air travel, all's well that ends well. Now, it's off to the world famous Ron Jon Surf Shop for a new pair of fancy flip flops.

Walking the grim city streets after football practice, the youngster glanced over his shoulder. His pulse raced. His pace quickened. His route had landed him on enemy turf, and the Raw Dogs weren't a Detroit gang to mess with. Just a few more blocks, Bart Scott thought.

DEAR CAL -- I'm the mother of a 13-year-old boy who is a natural in baseball. He played in recreation leagues from T-ball through 11 years old. He developed a fear of the ball and kept backing out of the batter's box. Although he never was hit, he hit some batters while he was a pitcher and it scared him so badly that he doesn't want to play in a league again. Every time there's a story about someone getting hurt by the baseball he reminds us that is why he doesn't play on a team. We took him to a baseball academy and he played one more season but kept backing out of the batter's box. All of his uncles, who play ball, say he is a natural and he plays daily at home in our big yard.

In the car business, it's all about product. You can move iron with incentives and lure tire-kickers with a clever ad. But to rack up consistent sales and build a loyal customer base, a car company needs to make quality vehicles that meet buyers' needs and fulfill their desires. For the "new" Chrysler - which recently went private and is in the midst of a restructuring - meeting these challenges won't be easy. Although the automaker's Chrysler, Dodge and Jeep vehicles "are seen by consumers as being rugged, tough and powerful with aggressive designs," says Steve Witten of market research firm J.D. Power & Associates, "what they're below average on is being fuel-efficient and environmentally friendly, providing good value for money and appealing to younger drivers."
