@FAASafetyBrief Maybe if the FAA didn’t stifle innovation to the point of scaring off Honda from building a piston engine, then we wouldn’t need to use a neurotoxin in 70-year-old engines everyday.

@elonmusk The Kardeshev scale works with a Dyson sphere. In the meantime, we need huge amounts of reliable power with low material intensity, e.g.: nuclear.

Nothing like hurrying up to fly under a pack of Raptors before their wake hits and rips your wings off!

Arctip #8: The question of how often to wash your car when the streets are covered melting, dirty snow is more philosophical than practical.

Arctip #7: Singing “baby it’s cold outside” when it’s 20 below in March is clinically proven to make the singer 6% merrier.

Sometimes I miss the days of flying my little Cessna around the Carolinas on cool spring mornings. The valley fog looked like steamed milk poured into a bowl.

Arctips #6: 22 hours of darkness is no big deal if you never go outside.

@JoeBiden Mr. President, you can barely stand for yourself.

Update: it’s a 737; I gave my wife the window seat.

At least we’re not late, whispers my wife as we complete our mad dash to the gate five hours before boarding.

Getting my seaplane rating at Jack Brown’s was an incredible experience!

Arctip #5: the best parts about winter in Anchorage are the direct flights to anywhere else.

Arctip #4: When stuck in an awkward social engagement, try the old southern standby of “welp, it’s getting dark outside,” even though it’s two in the afternoon and the sun hasn’t risen in three weeks.

Ice skating to Portage Glacier under the light of a full moon with the family!

Arctip #3: planning outfits by degrees below zero is a great way to both kill time now and ensure you’re uncomfortable later.

@AynRandInst Simply quoting Ayn Rand is not an argument that will win anyone over.

If you want to convince pro-lifers, you should use sound logic and science to outline exactly why the unborn are undeserving of the rights of a human.
