For those who have never met Alphonso Jurado, I should mention that he was originally from Ecuador; tall, dark, and definitely foreign-looking.

At the 2001 Sports Nats in Montague, the Fonz had just gridded his Ventus when he realized he had left his glider batteries at his motel room... in Yreka, 15 miles away. He pushed his glider off the grid, hopped into his van, and raced off to fetch them.

When he arrived at the motel, there were police cars everywhere, lights a' flashing. The chambermaid had walked into his room, seen the batteries on charge, and called the bomb squad.

Fonz managed to talk his way out of there in time to fly the task that day.
