They likely contract through multiple 3rd party’s. My RT660’s say made in Japan.

Sadly, no.... The supplier had given a delivery date of last Tuesday... No show Tuesday, check Wednesday, nothing. The garage chases up the order, turns out that it's coming directly from KW (Germany).. FedEx tracker tells us it will be delivered by COP Friday.. Garage shuts at 18.30ish.. FedEx misses the window!!! Check FedEx tracker, it's telling me that delivery is pending....

Anyway, I don't use it much so not missing it. I can't pick it up before this coming weekend.. Saturday will hopefully be it.

The largest share holder (45%) of Pirelli is Chinese.

I have a nephew in the Air Force Academy right now (entering his Sophomore year). He was home for a couple of weeks in early June. He and I talked about it a bit, and really he said it wasn't that bad, as long as you take it in the spirit it is given. He is a very independent, overachiever so I thought he would struggle, but to he seems to treat it basically as I would have, as a game.

I have read that U.S. defence forces are struggling to get people to join who meet basic fitness requirements. That is, there aren't enough people of the correct weight to make up the numbers.

I often think about how life would have been had I gone into the air force. I had a recruiter after me, and with my degree I would have started as an officer.
