Suoszowa, Poland. A town of 6,000 where everyone lives on the same street.

Thanks, Jon. I couldn't help it, I went on GoogleEarth Street View and enjoyed driving and looking around. There is something weird about it. All properties about the same size, all seem to have their own land also the same size, for farming. I wonder if this is a Commie-like result, but the homes seem to reflect the individuality of the homeowner. Someone should find a way to translate text from pictures, it would be interesting to read the signs and postings while driving along in street view.

Don’t know that I’ve ever seen this before.

No fold, he must have used a large envelope, wasteful government spending.

Nobody gives driving directions in Boston by saying the compass direction - North, South, East, West. The streets just don't work that way. Visitors are easily confused.

@jon-nyc Why would it have been addressed to the Secretary of State? Why not the VP?

You can hear the panic in her voice. Good job by the controller and instructor.

That was really bad. I have never heard anyone, flying solo, sound anywhere near that bad.
I have had a few students sound like that, but I was sitting in the plane with them.

My friend who is a pilot - I shared with him - said…
“Female pilot, female instructor and who saves the day? Male controller. Just sayin’.“

Aw c'mon, every teacher knows to make the student face their demons. The guy in the tower should have said, "look, go to 1500, you're going to freak out, probably go into a stall, and tumble towards the ground with the plane ripping itself apart and you'll die in a fiery explosion, in agony, and screaming in horror."
Or, take a deep breath and try again. Up to you, babe.
I am a natural teacher you see. Don't know why, I just got it. Instinct.

Will she ever be allowed to fly a plane again? To me, that video indicates that she shouldn't.
