Reading the history of Airbus and it's crazy to read about how un-dethronable Douglas and Boeing seemed in the 1960s.

It's hard to read how Boeing gave up on this incredible legacy of stellar engineering, for maximizing free cash flow and short-term profits, and end up with neither.

"Walnut, a white-naped crane with a Smithsonian zookeeper as a mate, dies at age 42"

Those who cared for her are real heroes. We really need to step up and care about animals and not just give lip service.

What is one of your best rainy day memories?

My Cousin Sarah and I got to stay at our Great Grandma's house together, and it was raining, and she told us we didn't have to be cooped up, we could go play in the rain. This was very exciting, because it's not something our parents would have gone for. So we twirled around and leapt in puddles and licked raindrops off rose petals. When we were done our Gran put us in a hot bath, and made us hot tea and treats. She brought out a big bag of costume jewelry and let us go through it, we tried everything on, and thought we were very fancy, and she let us keep our favorite ones.

You’re A Bathmat, Mr. Grinch
