Great dress indeed, and totally eclipsed by the killer shoes.

Blended Wing Bodies are a great idea aerodynamically, but they have a bunch of issues in commercial operation, especially for passengers.

Periodically rinsing and drying the blade eliminates most of the tear-inducing fumes.

Cool. When I tell most people that you actually have to learn to run properly they look at me like I have two heads. :)

Through no fault of the pilots, it was sadly written off a few months after I flew it. The retraction mechanism on the 172RGs has always been a weak spot, even after several ADs. Despite having almost brand new parts, it broke when they were extending it so the mains were just dangling there. Belly landing. Write off.

Fair dinkum. I guess I don't pay that close attention to time and broadcaster since I don't live in the US.

Three have been made. Quest for the Spear, Return to King Solomon's Mines and Quest for the Judas Chalice.

The Librarian movies are indeed derivative, predictable, low-budget, full of laughable effects and more than a little corny. The trick is to go in with the appropriate expectation level. I enjoyed The Librarian because it was easy-watching and twinkle-in-the-eye genre fun without being too demanding on the watcher. If

That's fair, but I wasn't asking for peer review. ;)

The full article is careful to note that "detox" is a valid and proper term for the treatment of addictive substances such as alcohol.

Cool. Thx for info.

Still better than nothing. ;)

Any exercise that you enjoy and want to keep doing is better than being bored and quitting. ;)

Tai Chi has definite pluses, especially on the flexibility and balance front, but it unfortunately doesn't do much for aerobic fitness.

Speaking of "happening" in the middle of the night, I flew the pictured Cessna 172RG for a couple of dozen hours while doing my commercial license. The story was that it had been used for radar absorbent paint trials before being bought by the school. It had this hideous uneven and rough gray-green paint. Anyway it

There's lots of talk in the comments about, a) "running is boring" and b) "running leads to knee injuries". Here are my thoughts.

You don't have to just run steady state on flat ground, which I agree is boring. There are many options such as hill running, intervals such as Fartlek or Tabata, stair running... As an added bonus pretty much any form of "uneven" running will give you more benefit than steady state running in less time.

The aim is to keep it up forever. ;)
