Guess owning a Volt is trailer trash in the LEV car world. Wife an I spent the weekend over in the city and a Tesla Model-X owner decided to teach us the lesson of how “trash” us and our Volt is in the big city

Came out to find this.....




Damn near zero room to get around the front without hitting the wall and electric rental scooters. Although the picture makes it look like I’ve got miles of room, I didn’t. Boy, they sure taught me a lesson.......

Geeze it's a small world. Always wanted to become a pilot but probably that's a good thing.

CAPRONI NOVIPLANO—A FLYING CRUISE SHIP 1921
https://simanaitissays.com/2015/12/07/caproni-noviplano-a-flying-cruise-ship/

Later that month or on March 2 (records differ), the Noviplano with calculated ballast aboard left the water briefly for the first time. On a March 4 liftoff, it rose rapidly to an altitude of 60 ft., then pitched downward, finally hitting the water tail first. The Noviplano sustained heavy damage; Semprini and his flight engineers escaped unscathed......................

Modern analysis suggests the sandbags used for ballast may have slid backwards on liftoff, thus destroying the aircraft’s balance.

THE FIRST PERSON TO FLY IN THE U.S.
https://simanaitissays.com/2018/05/25/the-first-person-to-fly-in-the-u-s/

JUST AS GEORGE Washington crossed the Delaware River in December 1776, within two decades Frenchman Jean-Pierre Blanchard entered aviation history as the first person to fly in the U.S., also crossing the Delaware.

Blanchard’s 10-mile balloon trip was from Philadelphia to Deptford, New Jersey. President Washington as well as future presidents John Adams, Thomas Jefferson, James Madison, and James Monroe were in attendance of this pioneering achievement on January 9, 1793.

I wonder if they thought to tax the air at that point.

Pirelli is F1’s sole tire supplier and teams are required to use at least two different compounds among the three choices provided at each venue. (Wet conditions modify this; and there are other regs based on qualifying.) Among the seven color-coded dry-weather Pirelli compounds, hyper-soft are identified by pink sidewalls; ultra-soft, by purple. Obviously hypers wear more quickly than ultras.
