THIS N THAT

 The 13 letters spelling "eleven plus two" can be rearranged to spell "twelve plus one."   Is that luck?
11➕2 = 12➕1 = 13

In India, less than 10% of the homes are air conditioned.  Only 50% of homes have indoor toilet facilities. More people have cell phones than indoor toilets.  The country is full of Indians but very few cowboys.

Life expectancy in the US has reached 78.79 years.  At this rate, I have one year plus 307 days to go.  Almost two years.  I'm good until April 2024.

Two out of three Canadians live south of Seattle, Washington.  It doesn't seem right to me but they say it's true.  Do you think they count them while all the snowbirds are on the beaches of Florida?

I've seen two great shows about airplanes, recently.  One is Top Gun Maverick  and the other is a YouTube video by retired Air Force pilot named Brian Shul.  He has a great personal story which leads us to the story of the SR-71 Blackbird.  You'll see that plane at the beginning of TGM.  It is was a stealth, hypersonic spy plane that could fly as high as 100,000' and reach speeds above Mach 3 (three times the speed of sound).  It was once very classified but now retired.  I suggest you see both the movie and the video.
