We don’t seem to have a thread like this, but my search may have failed me. For a while I’ve been reading interesting news stories that don’t necessarily have a home, but I don’t want to start a whole new thread for them. So, feel free to post interesting stories here, ideally non- or marginally-political.

What prompted this? Well, just this story of unexpected assistance when a light plane went down in Wisconsin…
