A Tribute to the Wright Brothers

Last month I walked into a Goodwill store to look at their books.  I have done this before because I love to read and you can get books for only $2  I glanced through two large bookcases and found three books for under $7.  I love history and one book was, "The Wright Brothers," by a very famous historian, David McCullough.  He is a two-time Pulitzer Prize winner and he's best known for his book on President Harry Truman.

Twenty pages into reading the book I was thrilled, it is an incredible story, of two brothers, Orville and Wilbur Wright from Dayton, Ohio.  I would have liked to sit down and read the whole book that day, but I did take a few weeks.  I will spare you many of the details, but below are the things that amazed me the most.

                                           


          

On the very first page I learned that the inspiration for flying came from a French toy that their dad gave them when they were young.  It was a small helicopter with sticks and propellers and it flew up.  The brothers called it, "the bat." Orville's first grade teacher asked him one day what he was doing with the wood he was fiddling with and he said he was making a machine and his brother and him would fly one day. (I've never fiddled with wood, but I carried a lot out of  it out of my parents house when we moved them.)

Their father was a Bishop and he had an extensive library in the house that encouraged his kids to read a lot. Wilbur had a promising career that ended when he was hit with a hockey stick in the face in high school and he spent three years at home as a recluse, but he read everything he could.

The brothers started a print shop and a newspaper and eventually a very successful bicycle shop where they made their own bikes.  Their sister Katherine was a very important part of their life and helped them achieve their success during their life and she was their biggest cheerleader.

The brothers believed that the secret to flying was to study birds and Wilbur learned everything he could to see how they flew. He even requested many books and writings on flying and birds from The Smithsonian Institute. 


They built the Wright Flyer pictured above and made the first successful flight in Kitty Hawk, North Carolina on December 17, 1903.  They flew it almost in front of no one since the local media was not interested in the story. Kitty Hawk was 700 miles from where they grew up and it was a remote location with the open space and winds perfect for them. They found the location by asking for advice from the United States Weather Bureau in Washington D.C.

As news spread of their achievement, our government was not interested, but the French were.  They had had several people trying to fly and the Wright Brothers became heroes overseas before getting the recognition at home. Thousands of people including kings of countries came out to see them fly in Europe.  The flights were all successful except one where a propeller fell off when Orville was flying a Lieutenant in the US Army.  Orville had serious injuries but he recovered.  Unfortunately, the lieutenant was the first airline casualty in history.

Eventually are government came around and the two brothers who had no formal education, had many years of success growing the airplane business and being applauded and rewarded for their invention. A writer in Europe gave a fitting tribute by writing that they, 

"Made the conquest of the sky their existence. They needed this ambition and profound, almost religious, faith in order to deliberately accept their exile to the country of the dunes, far away from all... Wilbur is phlegmatic but only in appearance.  He is driven by a will of iron which animates him and drives him in his work."

Living Near Nature is Healthy

 


Many decades ago, my wife and I were in California for a wedding and something was really odd.  I noticed that no one was smoking.  I had never smoked growing up in New Jersey, but my mom had and it was very normal for people to smoke.  I found out that California is very health conscious and smoking is not as common.

I recently read an article about a study done by the University of Exeter that explained that people who live around nature are 13% less likely to smoke and 26% less likely to drink alcohol every day compared to people who live in the least greenest area.  The study looked at 18 countries and regions and involved over 18,000 people.

They found that people who were regularly exposed to nature had less cravings for alcohol and it was easier for them to quit smoking.  I've always heard that it was beneficial to take a walk in the fields or smell the flowers, but now there is actual research showing the benefits. This could mean that people with these kinds of issues should be living or visiting nature on a regular basis.

I've never smoked and I hardly drink, but living in Colorado has a lot of nature. Many people here regularly talk about doing things outside like hiking and camping.  Keep this in mind if you're looking for a new hobby, nature may be a good choice for you wherever you are.

Car Wash Adventures

You may think that I made this up about washing my car, but I assure you that this really has happened. 

(Some background first) I think at some point when my kids were young I went to a couple car washes, but I'm not sure.  A couple years ago here in Colorado, I went through a car wash with the assistance of my wife.  I'm used to taking a bucket out, putting some car wash in it, and filling half of it with water. Washing the car seemed always easy and the car came out pretty clean.  I never felt the need to go to a car wash. Why pay for something you can do easily yourself?

Last month our son and daughter-in-law generously gave us a six month gift certificate for unlimited washes as an anniversary gift.  The car wash is two miles from our house. Since our neighborhood is still being built, there is dust and dirt that is always on my car which is on the driveway.  My wife has always regularly gone to car washes.


                                                      

My adventure began when I arrived at the car wash to find out that our gift was not set-up yet in the system.  It was ordered online and the manager let me go through and was very nice.  I walked into the office and he could not find it in the system at all.  I gave him more information from my son and I was told we should check with corporate.

Going in the car wash I was nervous.  As I approached the area I saw these instructions above: Close all windows and shut off wipers was easy to do.  Getting on the track and being waved to the right or left was a little more difficult.  The kid at the car wash signaled to me and I had to put the car in neutral which I never do and I struggled doing it.  Take my hands off the wheel?  Are you kidding me? I'm a driver and have driven maybe a million miles in my life, where do I put my hands?  I did it and then the car moved itself.

I've driven in a hurricane, a blizzard, and recently a hail storm and now the water was pouring down, soap all over, and brushes in every direction.  I wanted to grip the wheel tightly, but I didn't dare touch it.  As I got to the end I watched for the go light and I saw this sign in front of me which says, "Stay shiny." The sun emoji with dark glasses I used to put near my signature as The Sunshine Man years ago. 


I wasn't done yet, because I could use the free vacuums. The instructions were on this but I was confused.  Do I use the vacuums on the left or the right? Or do I use the large vacuum closest to the left side of my car and the smaller vacuum on my right? I don't have a clue and I've been "winging it." The first time I took the small vacuum which is supposed to be for mats and tried to use it on my car.  This week I went to take the big vacuum off and it was stuck.  I watched the guy next to me and I realized it wasn't the whole piece I should be grabbing.  When I took it off, the vacuum was so strong that it started sucking up my shorts.  No one was watching fortunately.

                                                   

And just this week I took the big vacuum out and there wasn't much suction and this below came out? It was only costume jewelry, but this car wash thing is not easy.


CONCLUSION: I'm starting to get used to going to the car wash, but our gift certificate has been an adventure in itself.  The manager told me the gift certificate is only for one car, but he gave me two bar codes. Their corporate office confirmed that and my wife and I decided I would use the gift certificate.  Last week the code worked one day and the following day it did not.  This week it did not work and I was told I could come into the office and get another barcode.  I'll be ready to do that this week, it's almost like having a job!

I'm still able to get in, but I think most people have an easier time going to the car wash.  Of course, I can always take out the bucket and car wash, but maybe not in the Colorado winter.

An Old Hat For Me?

These days it's more important than ever to protect yourself from the sun.  I'm living in Colorado and I know I will have to get a sun hat, what do you think about this one?


This is a wool hat that is 2,000 years old.  It is a Roman hat that goes all the way back to 30 BCE after Cleopatra died.  It was used to protect Romans from the sun and it's really my color.  It is being displayed in a British museum.  It was worn in Egypt to protect Romans also from the windstorms.  We have windstorms in Colorado, but not as intense as 2,000 years ago.

They did spend some time on this hat preserving it after moths destroyed it. It is in excellent condition after they re-created the shape of the hat.  It was first discovered about 100 years ago and it has been held in storage before they started working on it to display it.  

You will not find this hat on Amazon or in any store, I think it's too much hat for me anyway. I can't see myself Ubering in it.

Random Thoughts and Questions

Do you ever have these things that go through your head and you never bring them up to anyone? Well, I decided to make a list of ten of these things and pass them on to you, so they can run through your head also.

1. Our dog's name is Odin, but we frequently call him, "Buddy." Does Odin think his name is "Buddy" too?


2. My wife went to the DMV to get her Colorado license plate. In line was a man with a long tail. Would it be better if I don't look that up to see what it meant and just assume he was playing a cat in a play?


3. How many times a year does the average person butt-dial someone?


4. Am I the only one who has never heard the word, "Gerd?"  I looked it up and here's the answer,

"Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is a condition in which the stomach contents leak backward from the stomach into the esophagus (food pipe). Good travels from your mouth to the stomach through your esophagus. GERD can irritate the food pipe and cause heartburn and other symptoms."


5. When a solicitor comes to your door, how nice can you really be?


6. How long does it take to get a picture like this of a dog jumping in the air? This picture was taken of our dog Odin by our dog sitter. I think he's smiling.


7. Since Costco is now selling a Star Wars pinball machine for $4,700, can I just stop in anytime and play some pinball for free? Below my wife and I celebrated our anniversary with some free pinball. (Before I got my chicken)


                                   


8. Is there such a thing as getting "Car Wash Training?" I don't mean to work there, I mean to regularly go there and get your car cleaned.  More on this another time; I am experiencing difficulties.


9. My one-year-old granddaughter bought a book on kindle using her mom's phone.  Is that a good thing or not so good?


10. When you're watching a one-year old you sometimes have to be wearing four hats.  She constantly wants me to wear a hat in her house. Would you be comfortable doing that for hours and hours?

The Oldest Person in the World

Recently, she had another birthday and Ethel Caterham is now 116 years old.  She lives in Surrey, England and resides in a care home. Although she did not do any interviews on her birthday, she has in the past shared her secrets for her longevity and here they are:

1. Take an agreeable approach to most things in life.  "Never argue with anyone, I listen and do what I like."

2. "Say yes to every opportunity, because you never know what it would lead to."

3. "Have a positive mental attitude and have everything in moderation."


Ethel was a mother of two girls and she has outlived both of them. She's also a grandmother of three and a great-grandmother of five.

Having read a number of articles about how older people have lived so long, they usually say similar things like this.  It's probably a good idea to be reminded of this every once in awhile.

The House That Wasn't

 


When you look at the picture above you know it is a house.  This was supposed to be the house we bought in Colorado this year, but instead we bought the house below at the end of May. Sometimes the best plans just don't work out, which is why we didn't buy this house.

Last September we put money down for this house to be built. They weren't ready to build it yet, so we knew it would be one of the last houses in the neighborhood to be built this year.  Things got delayed and pushed back and when we arrived at the beginning of May we were told it would not be ready until mid-August.

We had made plans to stay with family for a couple months, but we felt over three more months was too long to wait.  It was disappointing, but the way things had gone it could have been September also.

If you look at the two houses there are similarities.  Our house below has a large extra room and a bigger backyard. It is also in a farm-like area and half of the houses are not moved into yet.  It has better access to everything around and it has a bigger porch area.  

The house above has a bigger driveway and was on a cul-de-sac.  It's a nice looking house which would have worked out, but it didn't. Although the other houses are not sold, "The house that wasn't" has a sold sign on it.  Somehow it is listed as sold before May which makes no sense.  It looks like it is ready for someone to move in. 

We have no regrets and how we bought our house was all about, "The house that wasn't."

Almost Anything is Possible

I always enjoy reading about something unique and inspiring and this story is certainly both.  In Cleveland City, Utah, 11-year-old Rosili Olson drew the picture below of a playground.  The local playground wasn't built for kids as young as her sisters, so she thought this would be better. I think she was right.

Her mom liked the idea and the two of them spoke with the head of the Department of Recreation in the town.  They had a budget to build a new playground and thought this would be perfect.  Rosili worked with them on building the playground and her picture is below:


It took about a year, but Rosili got to cut the ribbon at the grand opening.  How did she feel about it? She said, "It's even more beautiful than I imagined."  It's a great story because she got to watch it from beginning to end and it's something she made happen.  Imagine how much fun her sisters and other kids will have because of her initiative.

What can you do that others might consider impossible?
