The killing of the drug lord set off several hours of roadblocks with burning vehicles, tactics commonly used by the cartels to block military operations. Videos circulating on social media showed smoke billowing over the tourist city of Puerto Vallarta in Jalisco, and people sprinting through the airport of the state's capital in panic.

Air Canada announced it was suspending flights to Puerto Vallarta "due to an ongoing security situation" and advised customers not to go to their airport.

In Guadalajara, the state capital, burning vehicles blocked roads.

Wilby, driving "The All Red Route" a Reo's trip across Canada in 1912 with two men that hated each other, and one wrote a very dull book about it from what I read in the comments on this photo

Mazda has something new, a 2 stroke, 15 to 1 compression, supercharged engine

 
operating as a compression-ignition (like a diesel) under low loads, and spark ignition during high loads. If that last part sounds familiar, it's because Mazda employs it on its Skyactiv-X engine
