When I was little I remember thinking what it would be like to live in the year 2010. Flying cars, houses made of metal and plexi glass sitting far up in the air, and pushing buttons for everything you could possibly need or want and having it appear instantly in front of me(and when finished it would open a slot and remove and trash and dishes along with it). Yes it was a future based in part on the Jetson’s, in part from movies of the day, and the rest from the hopeful creativity of a child’s mind.

As the years ticked away and I grew older, cars were getting no closer to becoming the aerial disks as I had always seen in the futuristic movies. In fact with the birth (and rise in popularity)of the SUV cars were getting bigger and heavier…not smaller and lighter. This wouldn’t work at all my young mind thought however would a Suburban get its big butt off the ground?Maybe it just needed some Flubber!!

Funny to me how the thoughts of a child(no matter how whimsical and farfetched they seem now) stick with you.

Happy New Year to one and all! May the new year bring you prosperity and happiness! Eat your black Eyed Peas!!!
