When I was a kid, I had an “invention.”  This was not like the previous invention<\/a> mentioned recently on this blog.  No, this was an awesome invention.  I dreamed about it, but I’m not sure if I was awake or asleep.  But I can say that it was and still is to this very moment crystal clear in my mind.  I can’t really put it into words well, but I can tell you that we had a large backyard when I was a kid and I pictured having a large track around the perimeter with a kind of lake on one side.  My invention was a vehicle (what today is known as an ATV but I didn’t know that then, if they existed) that would drive on the land and then drive across the water.  Somebody has now developed exactly this<\/a>.  It is a beautiful sight to behold.  The only difference from my dream is that my vehicle had the “boat hull” come down over the wheels, whereas this has it the opposite.  It probably works better their way.  Unfortunately that backyard was sold a few weeks ago and even if my parents still owned it, this machine is too expensive.  But it is neat to see my dream “realized.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
