Scanning Google News, my eye fell on this headline from Bloomberg News:



Wow, I thought. Tesla Motors has sold a whole bunch of their cool electric sports cars. I've seen pictures of their hardtops, but not their convertibles.

Milliseconds later, the smaller print entered my brain:



Oh. Convertible bonds.

Never mind.

I know, right? At that rate, surely we'd know someone who had bought one -- and then could maybe get a ride in one, some time.

Rats!

ION, our library system recently acquired a copy of Steve Lehto's The Great American Jet Pack: The Quest for the Ultimate Individual Lift Device. Thought of you for no apparent reason ;).

I have enjoyed Mr. Lehto's book on the Chrysler Turbine Car of the 1960s, so I am looking forward to this.

You have to wonder if that headline was deliberately phrased that way...
