Those have been around a while. Yeah, first time I saw one, my first
thought was why the hell didn't someone design that when -I- was a
kid... And yes, I had a go with it...

Dayum, I wish we'd had those when I was a kid.

They were popular in Germany when I was a soldier there in the early
70's. The chaplain roped me into helping with his orphanage project
which included shopping for Kettcars.jsw

Never pass up the opportunity to acquire a toy. You need one with
tracks.
My oldest uncle would wade the bays all day with nothing but cigars and drinking water chasing reds, but complained he was too old and hurt too bad to walk his rice fields shoveling levees. For a while, he ran those two wheel drive motorcycles with the tractor treads, shovel in a scabbard. Then he wised up and got a little John Deere with the wedge steel wheels and a tiny backhoe. Look maw, no shovel!

Amazing. Outstanding!
Kids nowadays just don't know how good they have it. Remember Mom and Dad's budgets back then? Compare them to now. Mom and Pop are dropping a few grand a year on toys today. UFR!

All I asked for was access to the shop and the scrap heap, and don't
look too closely at what I made....
It's possible my flying toys set off the Exeter NH UFO hysteria. The ultra-lightweight poly film parachutes that floated away on thermals like milkweed seeds were saucer shaped and glistened white and silvery from reflected clouds and sun.

Oh, so it was you all along. Wait until I tell NORAD, the CD guys,
NASA, the USAF, and all the rest of 'em.

No one reported them at the time, but they may be what Betty Hill's
sister Janet saw. I was elsewhere during the big sighting in
Kensington, which sounded to me like a student prank hot air balloon
that glowed like a Japanese paper lantern.

It used to be all a sportsman needed was an old pickup truck and a little
boat with a motor to go fishing with. Now there's an arms race of guys with
monster trucks and brand-new shiny boats showing up at the fishing holes.
I liked it better before.

I never have to clean up - when she does her squat, the scoop goes
under and then to the bag. When I take her out, she walks over the
scoop if it will be needed.

Leave the 'ores onshore and take the motorboat out for some quiet time
with the fishies.
