This is the actual Wright brothers plane from 1903.
Part of the control for the plane was to warp the wings (didn't have ailerons for lateral directional control).

An early Bleriot (French) plane from 1906.
It's hung upside down so you can look into the cockpit.
Looks remarkably modern compared to the Wright brothers' planes from the same time frame.

 

Tuesday, February 11, 2025 - Rental car in DC area

Rented a Prius.
It's actually a good looking car.
Wanted to see what it's like to live with for a few days.

The hatch is practical but the trunk is not huge.
With my driving style, 44 mpg is pretty good.

 

Frozen "Kimbap" from Trader Joes -- OK


Simply microwave for 2 minutes.
Not great but surprisingly OK.
