2015 And All's...

     It could certainly be a great deal worse.  On the other hand, it's two-thousand-fifteen and there's nobody living on the Moon; there's a space station but it's more of a mobile home.

     On the other hand, while your car still fails to fly, it does some amazing things; the gas mileage alone would have sounded insane to your parents or grandparents.  And we have not managed to blow up the planet or even a major city this century.  So far, so good.

  1. Happy New Year. My grandfather would have been lamented the lack of progress in fuel efficiency the same way you lament the lack of progress in extra-terrestrial colonization. He had a Carter-era VW Rabbit diesel that would regularly get 50 MPG.
