In the future
Papa and I were talking on the way into town to go shopping. Somehow cars and transportation became the subject of the moment. Then I thought about the pictures of my grandfathers standing beside their respective first cars. What a difference - what progress (if, indeed, we call this progress) in the last 100 years. Multiply that by the speed with which the world - and specifically transportation - is progressing in this century and imagine what transportation will be like one hundred years from now. I don't want to wear out my welcome here nor do I expect more than I am due, but part of me does wish I could see what my great great grandchildren will be doing and how they will get around. I don't think they will have cars that resemble ours.
