Big Brother In The Sky

My kites are only a toy flown by me a retired postal worker.  I'm not writing a theoretical thesis for graduate work for any post graduate academia.  And I am an old man who believes I am young now if I am not lying…let me live my life I want to live and let live.  As an old man playing with a child's toy and flying kites in my backyard obsessed with toys that fly I assembled a structure twenty feet high which you cannot buy at ToyR US or at Target or Sears air or any store.  I made it from scratch and essentially it is or was a basketball pole converted into a flag pole which on occasion I do fly the American flag with pride but essentially it is a kite launcher so instead of a flag on special occasions  like flag day or Vetereans Day I raise a kite on most days and let it out with this extension line which is as long as I want it to be….miles in fact long.

One can clearly see my attention is in the skies and I'm looking up at the skies or the heavens more than the average man or woman on the streets.  And what do I see may you ask?  I see things which the mind can easily trick itself into seeing other things which has no connection to reality;  beware of the prescription medicines which give off side effects.  Could it be these helicopters are patrolling the skies
looking for potential trouble in our crime driven cities?    News reports of businesses being burned by arsonist have been reported    which may have explained the unusual activity going on and I cannot venture into the city with which I was born and raised with the feeling for a peaceful environment.                              

Toy Models Keep Up With The Advancement of Technology

The blog entitled It Never Takes A Genius has been long discontinued.  But as of  today it still remains.  But it was filled with fantasy and events which perhaps should not have been mentioned.  But the attraction for objects that can fly fascinates me and I look upon objects or crafts that can fly with awe.   At first like a child I was fascinated by those little toy electric helicopters that can be controlled through remote control.  Why not I figured since they are massed produced and are affordable to own.

But past experiences have shown they are only  good for smaller spaces indoors.  The ones which are designed for outdoors did not work for me for the four electric helicopters used  outdoors failed.  The reasons were that the slightest breeze was enough to send the electric helicopter out of control.  Each model helicopter cost me roughly one hundred dollars which is much too much for the common man to afford.  Kites have come a long way with various designs and shapes and better capabilities than of yesterday with which to experiment and appreciate what is out there for the man or woman on the go.  Having  found out the hard way by crashing  them so easily I had just forgotten the beauty of these model helicopters flying indoors but was so ever disappointed with their performances outdoors.  Now a kite is an outdoor sport with the craft in flight.  As you noted anything which flies in model form and that which can be controlled be it through kite strings or better still through wire remote  control or the much heard about.  The   time has come and now civilians have access  to the drones.  I'm learning                                                                          
to know more about this technology.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        

Flying A Craft

As I explained to a neighbor of mine I am interested in crafts that I can fly and control the models of what will be real crafts that  can and will fly.  Such crafts I have in mind I do not see mentioned in the mass media or the mainstream news departments but my interests lead me to visions of what is ahead of us or what can be available for us it is only for us to accept and promote as attempt to envision the concept of cars that fly.  What am I out of my mind?  It's just an old concept already discussed  in the popular movies ; serious stuff minded politician would dare not speak about this sort of thing.  An older mentor of mine who first got me involved in flying those gasoline powered model airplanes  attached to wires for control when I was a teenager has pointed to me a way of another flying model much more advanced in  technology and already proven to be a viable  source to use in industry.  As we are aware of the military aspects applied to drones I will not and cannot write about our nations military secrets already revealed in the news.  In my mind I will attempt to put forth something I never dreamed of and that is fly one of those model drones now available on the open market anyone can order online.  I've already flown those electric model helicopters successful to my satisfaction indoors but   they could not
fly to my satisfaction outdoors although the instructions on the package says it is for outdoors.  But make no mistake about it drones do fly and I think I have the ability to make them fly.  The joy stick is the control mechanism necessary  to  work such a drone is it not?  In order to control such a model craft these types of controls require a skill to  make the craft go up or down turn left or right and the who control ability to work such models  is essentially ever present.  I am acting out the character Richard Dreyfess in the movie Close Encounters of  the Third Kind where he is seen as an obsessed man gone crazy and insane with the need to make models of a mountain site where this UFO is to land and meet earthlings.  Except I am obsessed with the things that fly and flying cars ultimately is a concept in the making which I promote and envision.  I am flying models already and enjoying the beauty of a simple flight of a kite and yes these are only but toys but a drone is serious air craft which shows the way that it is time to look at cars with a serious mind and not just pure science fiction.  Bill
Wattenburg a former professor at UC Berkeley and I  talked about such concepts of flight and as many of know there are already prototypes of these cars already in existence.  To those everyday commuters in cars and I have been one for years don't tell me you enjoy being in traffic jams?  I would say find a way to escape.  The main problem is air traffic control.  As a   realist I confess I may never fly in one of those flying cars is it that far out in the future for me?

Speaking As Journalists

It was Michael Savage I had spoken to on the air one of the most listened to radio talk show hosts not too far from Russ Limbaugh in ratings.  San Francisco isn't such a bad city for learning the craft of the talk show host filled with visions of the news and of journalism.  And so in a round about way I have dealt with professionals  who know the trade of the news while I remain but just the man in the crowd who listens to the news reports in whatever way such news stories capture my  interest and thus I am prepared to discuss the news reports with the closet set of human ears available in my presence from the recreational tennis player to my former co workers and yes I say my former coworkers rather than colleagues where few of them fail to qualify for the Jeopardy Television Quiz show including myself.  In my mind Michael Savage is an intellectual having authored books himself with not a bad success rate.  But I was prepared to give my two cents worth and talk about Norman Mailer in my opinion the most successful and famous writer of my time if not all time because of the modern times he  represented and when growing up in the fifties and sixties I would see  him quite frequently on television and I was at awe the way he spoke about  his ideals as presented on talk shows.  It wasn't just  because he was my favorite writer in fact I never read his works and I read very few books.  But  I did  talk to Norman Mailer on the air which was very important  to me for when I meet a very famous person on the air and succeed in dialogue I feel a sense of  accomplishment as I did when I played tennis.  Winning  more than half your engagements isn't so terrible.
