DREAM ENERGY

So, that solar plane is cool.   In the ninth leg of a round-the-world trip started in March, pilot Bertrand Piccard landed the Solar Impulse 2 near San Francisco, Saturday afternoon.   The airplane has the ability to fly both day and night, with its only 'fuel' being energy from the sun.   " 'It's an adventure we want to share with the public,' Piccard said."   This is indeed the stuff dreams are made of.   Piccard remembered being inspired by astronauts as a boy.  "He said if he and his team could do the same for others, 'that would be fantastic,' "     news

Attention:  Will the line for those exasperated by politically correct mumbo-jumbo please form down the middle! 
This morning's newspaper headline, "Alleged 'unstable' man ends hijacking" made me crazy!   Let's go ahead and call folk who play around with blowing up planes--for real or pretend--unstable, okay??   Own it, people!
