It seems that many of the ideas of 90 years ago are coming to life though not necessarily as thought of at the time. That lead me on to look up airships. For those of us who prefer a slower but more comfortable ride. https://www.thrillist.com/travel/nation/future-of-airships-new-planes 1 1

Wonderful stuff, some of it evocative of the superb Heath Robinson, but some is muchmore "feasible". Related: on the same website I saw this. What a memory-jerker this is: "Sandwiches. London 1972" 3 1

You tried to avoid the soggy egg-and-mayo. All placed in a brown paper bag for eating in a nearby park if it wasn't snowing. 2 1
Popular Post ravip Posted August 1, 2023 Popular Post Posted August 1, 2023 I know I shouldn’t have done this, but I am 83 years old and I was in the McDonald’s drive-through this morning and the young lady behind me leaned on her horn and started mouthing something because I was taking too long to place my order. So when I got to the first window I paid for her order along with my own. The cashier must have told her what I'd done because as we moved up she leaned out her window and waved to me and mouthed "Thank you.", obviously embarrassed that I had repaid her rudeness with kindness. When I got to the second window I showed them both receipts and took her food too. Now she has to go back to the end of the queue and start all over again. Don't blow your horn at old people, they have been around a long time. 1 1 1 2 1
