We have a nearby playground with just that toy. It is nice, indeed.

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... G

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

To to hunting now, you need a grand worth of special pattern camo
gear, a $4k rifle, a $1k rangefinder, a $12k quad, $2k in camping
gear, a hunting license, etc.

Now that..is cool!!!!


"As physicists now know, there is some nonzero probability that any object will,
through quantum effects, tunnel from the workbench in your shop to Floyds Knobs,
Indiana (unless your shop is already in Indiana, in which case the object will
tunnel to Trotters, North Dakota).

The smaller mass of the object, the higher the probability.
Therefore, disassembled parts, particularly small ones,
