The future is now... and my future stared me in the computer screen...
I think back to a commercial that I've seen where the announcer is wondering what happened to the future. As The Jetsons are shown in the back ground, he asks where the flying cars, personal jet packs and in home nuclear reactors are?
I wonder the same thing. I remember as a kid seeing "the future" portrayed with flying cars and high speed people movers... The year 2000 should have had all of those groovy toys. But instead, it was much like it was in the 1980s... or the 1970s...
But all of that changed yesterday.
And the other half was my future staring at me on the computer screen. As I watched the first video, this popped up on the sidebar. As I watched it, I saw one of my boys. No, it wasn't actually one of MY boys, but it sure could be... the oldest one is 4, so another 5 or 6 years... The younger one is 7 months... so I'll be seeing this happen in 10 years... tops.

I'd love to hear from you...
Put a big enough engine on it you can make a rock fly. Tim Taylor proved that.
Hi Lane,
Pretty cool. I heard about it on the news, yet this is the first time I've viewed it.
Oh MAN! Let's build a desert down in Clayton County complete with huge sand dunes!!!
It's just not fair! Some kids get to have ALL the fun!
Hi Lane, just an FYI. It's 2:30 am and none of your media is showing up; however, most normal people are still in bed so maybe I'll check back later on.
Terry - And Tim Taylor was my hero... I know several people that fit that mold.
Lynda - If he could just make it land without dropping in via parachute.
Ken - I'm cool with it. There isn't much else down there. We could put it in the glide path of the airport.
Tony & Darcy - They looked like fun to me.
Thom - YOU can have the fun, too... We need to do lunch.
Susie - They should be back. I don't know what happened.
