  • That’s very interesting. I have a cat that looks almost exactly like the one depicted but the orange in our cat has grown out a little bit more. When she was about 6 months old she looked exactly like the picture. Fairly confident ours isn’t deaf though because she’s reactive to when I unlock the back door to let her outside lol. It could be that she’s not got the right genes though because her mom was Siamese and Dad was orange and she came out as a flame point.


  • I’ve done some studying on cloud seeding in college. By far not an expert but took some classes on it. It requires storms to already be developing to be able to seed the clouds. All it is doing is helping the storm to produce more rain and less hail. It’s not creating anything out of thin air. There is no controlling the weather just giving it a (very small) nudge. In fact, it is so minor that there’s a lot of controversy as to whether it’s even worth the time and effort to do but studies do indicate that it is successful in increasing rainfall throughout the life of a storm.



  • I’m a CFI and airline pilot. Based on your situation LSA sounds like a good fit for you and it seems like you’ve done your research. In terms of interviewing an instructor it just depends on what you are looking for out of an instructor. If you’re worried about them having a certain personality or teaching style it may require you just paying for a lesson with them. You could maybe start with a ground lesson such as a practice oral exam or something like that. Or you could just go straight into a first flight lesson/discovery flight type of thing and get a feel of them. At no point during your flight training are you forced to continue training with any instructor. The hours you will build during flight training is valuable experience that will count towards your progression as a pilot and towards getting your ratings. If you get 20 hours in and you realize the instructor isn’t a fit for you, then just stop scheduling lessons with them and find someone else. If they’re cordial you could even be direct with them and just ask if they know any other instructors you could fly with because you need to experience a different teaching style. Most people in aviation are great, caring people who want to see others progress and be successful in their flight training.
