Amazing New Tires
They have been testing these for several years now.
Resilient Tech was developing them for the military.
Amazing new tires.........................
Michelin Tires... Absolutely SCARY looking...
Look for 'em in August.
These tires are made in South Carolina, USA.
SEE THROUGH TIRES
Radical new tire design by Michelin.
The next generation of tires.
They had a pair at the Philadelphia car show.
Yes, those are 'spoke' like connections to the inner part
of the tire from the outside tread 'wrap!' The next picture
shows how odd it looks in motion...
Makes you wonder how the ride feels doesn't it?
These tires are airless and are scheduled to be out on
the market very soon.
The bad news for law enforcement is that spike strips
will not work on these.
Just think of the impact on existing technology:
A. No more air valves...
B. No more air compressors at gas stations...
C. No more repair kits...
D. No more flats...
These are actual pictures taken at the South Carolina plant of Michelin.

C130 Photo Opportunity
ONLY THING THEY DIDN'T DO IS TAP ON THE NOSE OF THE FIGHTER!
A British Royal Air Force Typhoon pilot flies up to the back door of a C-130 (Hercules) for a photo opportunity.
He radios, "How much closer do you want me?"
They radio, "How much closer can you get?"
Pilot Radios, ”Close enough?”
You have to be a tad mad to be a fighter pilot in today's world! ! !
But, even crazier to be a photographer looking down those intakes!

Car Keys. A Senior Moment
Several days ago as I left a meeting at our church, I desperately gave myself a personal TSA pat down. I was looking for my keys. They were not in my pockets. A quick search in the meeting room revealed nothing. Suddenly I realized, I must have left them in the car.
Frantically I headed for the parking lot. My wife, Diane, has scolded me many times for leaving the keys in the ignition. My theory is the ignition is the best place not to lose them. Her theory is that the car will be stolen. As I burst through the doors of the church, I came to a terrifying conclusion. Her theory was right. The parking lot was empty. I immediately called the police. I gave them my location, confessed that I had left my keys in the car, and that it had been stolen.
Then I made the most difficult call of all, “Honey,” I stammered. I always call her “honey” in times like these. “I left my keys in the car, and it has been stolen.”
There was a period of silence. I thought the call had been dropped, but then I heard Diane’s voice,
“Ken,” she barked, “I dropped you off!”
Now it was my time to be silent. Embarrassed, I said,
“Well, come and get me.”
Diane retorted, “I will, as soon as I convince this policeman I have not stolen your car!”
