I'd say "please DO."

Pointless sacrifice of a Valuable asset.  He will spontaneously disassemble soon.  His destruction of America is an Inside Job and the Tide will Turn (If you LIKE Mixed Metaphors). Nev

No details or back story.

Pilot John Gregory crashed into the tree near McCall, Idaho, in April 2019, when he was attempting a forced landing in a nearby field. He was uninjured, and was rescued by a volunteer firefighter who also owns a tree removal business. That'd be some rescue!

Tree removal was not needed. Leave the tree, remove the plane!

[onetrack]

Knowing Americans, I must say I'm surprised they didn't just cut down the tree, complete with the aircraft and pilot still in it, to recover him!

To be fair, most Americans I have met are really nice and quite resourceful.

In 1906, this chatty little handbook was released. It was called "The Woman and the Car".

 

In the book, advice was given to women who chose to drive a car (gasp!), to ....

 

1. Carry a revolver, carry a small mirror for seeing behind them, for summoning help, and to also carry some chocolate (yes!)

2. The book also advised bringing hairpins, a pair of clean gloves, an extra handkerchief, a clean veil, and a powder puff for neatening up at the destination!

 

I notice that there was no advice to wear goggles, which were pretty necessary for driving in 1906 due to a lack of proper windscreens, and very dusty unsealed roads.

 

In incidental motoring news, a woman actually invented the first windscreen wiper!

Where can I get a copy for my wife?

[onetrack]

When I mentioned to SWMBO that a woman invented the windscreen wiper, she retorted - "That'd be right! Always doing the cleaning!!" 😄 

[nomadpete]

I found it.

Gutenberg Project has a free copy.

Motoring has come a long way

Even for males!

[onetrack]

SWMBO wants to know, exactly what destination you plan to send your wife to, with this book??

[nomadpete]

It is clearly a book for the empowered woman. Of any era.
