I Too Have A Dream

One of my dreams is that the cars we drive will be cars that can fly. This is my fascination with objects that already fly which we can control starting from kites to drones as our play things to aircraft used on a commercial basis. So how far off is this concept car going to be from now. It is for anyone to guess. My guess is that it will happen sooner than we expected. Already in the news there is this car that automatically drives itself. But I have not seen one as yet. But I have flown kites with regularity outside of the kite zone of the Berkeley Marina where kites are a common site to see due to the prevailing winds perfect for kites and sailing vessels and even yachts in fact my dentist will see me soon for more work on my teeth so he can continue to sail his yacht. Here is my confession. I spend more time than the average person looking up at the sky because I am a kite flyer by hobby and those toy helicopters caught my attention when they first came out. Okay yes this is weird a grown sixty-six year old man going through his second childhood. But wait! What do I see up in the sky nowadays that are different. There is a new toy in town which I cannot ignore for they are common tools or objects of flight used for military purposes as we know now sold to the public but commonly known these are not weapons for which the public can use for recreational purposes. But these drones are much much more than toys for they come with cameras and the cost of these drones cost more than what the average teenager on the block can afford because many of the more expensive models suited for the right person can cost into the thousands of dollars. I haven't begun to tell you my dream. I must continue this posting at another time
