HS buddy of mine moved to Smith's Grove, KY. When I visited him he showed me the cracks in the basement, big enough to crawl into, that went into that system and you could reach Texas, I believe.

I had to look up Smith’s Grove. It is near Mammoth Cave which is an amazing cave system. That’s crazy about his house. We have a cave near our house. Took the kids in but I was too scared to go too far back. Supposedly Indian artifacts were found in there years ago.

So what was the name of Pat Brady's jeep? Extra points if you can name Robert E. Lee's horse. Of course both without the modern magic of the interweb.

Any true Southerner does not need the internet to answer the question about Marse Robert, though it is in fact a trick question. Gen. Lee rode two horses during the war, the more famous of the two was of course Traveller. His other horse, a gift from J.E.B. Stuart, was a mare named Lucy Long. Interesting story about Lucy: Like most soldiers, she was fond of extracurricular activities and was discovered during the battle of Petersburg to be “with foal” and sat out the rest of the war.

United Airlines places $15 million order for 200 sleek, electric air taxis that take off and land like helicopters - to bring city residents to the airport for $100-$150: New form of air travel has yet to be approved by FAA​

  • United Airlines placed a $15 million order for 200 electric air taxis from Eve Air Mobility - with the option to buy another 200
  • The airline believes that residents in congested cities will fork over $100-$150 for air taxi rides to or from the airport
  • Eve's design uses conventional fixed wings, rotors and pushers, giving it a practical and intuitive lift-plus-cruise design
  • ‘It will take time for consumers to adopt this. People are going to have some hesitancy at first,’ said Michael Leskinen, president of United Airlines Ventures
  • United Airlines expects to receive the first taxis from Eve as soon as 2026
  • However, the electric aircraft have yet to receive approval to fly passengers

Some compare helicopter ride prices to UBER ride prices and realize the extra $45 is worth saving 45 min in travel time.




Side note -- this is the dude, Marcus Hutchins, who interrupted the spread of WannaCry, ransomware that hit back in 2017 (I think).

I’m concerned about the environment. Do you have an electric helicopter to shuttle me to the airplane?

The last time I took an Uber home from the airport, it was well over $100 and took over an hour. I can definitely see a market for this.
