Cigar Musings

When I was a young lad, back in the early um… Yeah… Let’s just say back when I was 5 or 6 years old, I always envisioned us, Man, would be traveling in flying cars and have walking/talking robots to do our bidding by the time the 21st Century came around. Hey! I had big dreams or an imagination back when I was a kid. So, that by the time the year 2000 came around I was very disappointed I didn’t have a flying car or a home up in the clouds, like they do in the Jetsons.

Anyway, I digress… I was surfing the Internet earlier this evening and looking at my favorite news sites and discovered this little article on TheSun.co.ukwebsite about US scientists setting a record for a walking "robot." It is remote control but, still extremely impressive in my humble opinion.

Now that I think about it. I am still amazed by the robots or rovers we sent to Mars and how we can control them remotely all the way back here on Earth.

Anyway, here is to hoping I will have my own little R2D2 running around to make me a dry martini, cut and light my stogie for me. Ah, now that would be life.
