It’s a Bird, It’s a Plane, It’s a Car
This was in the national news a few days ago but in case you missed it, here it is again. The Terrafugia is billed as the first flying car. It just completed its test flights from the Plattsburgh airport. So here we see it leaving Plattsburgh by land and by air. Click on the pictures to see them in full size. Plattsburgh isn’t far from Huletts, so keep your eyes open for the flying car. (Pictures with permission of Terrafugia.)
Seen Any Golfers Like This?
When I first saw this video, I wasn’t sure whether to laugh or cry. I will say, if you ever see any golfers that do this, you might want to run away. Or then again, you might want to watch.

If You’ve Read A Good Book…
…we’d like to know about it.
We have so many people who love to read over the summer, we thought we would compile a reading list of favorite books that people recommend.
I’ve always been an avid reader and will be happy to share my thoughts on the best books I’ve read the last year, but I’m a big biography reader and some people don’t like these. So if you’ve read any really good books lately, drop us a note from our contact page and tell us what good books you’ve read recently, why they were good and if we can use you name as someone who would recommend them. We’ll release our list sometime closer to the summer when all of our books worms are getting ready to relax on the beach with a good book (that you recommend).

Here are two guys who can strum it. More importantly, if you’re a teenager this is good advice.

For our techies out there, here’s Brad Paisley’s Green Screen Challenge. Here’s an idea that will win every time: put Huletts in the background.

Get Your Kids On The Course – He’s 5
He’ll Always be the Lone Ranger
Before we introduce this piece, we provide a disclaimer that it has absolutely nothing to do with Huletts and involves no one from Huletts. We do not endorse or condone any of the activities described in it (except those of the Lone Ranger).
Having said that, here is a hilarious segment from the Late Show with David Lettermen that aired a little while back. It’s a true story told by actor and disc-jockey, Jay Thomas, about a chance meeting he had with the original Lone Ranger, the late Clayton Moore, some years ago. We came across this and for fans of the Lone Ranger, young and old, this is a very funny story.
