When I was a kid I saw a one-person speedboat at a boat show, it was so tiny and sleek. I dreamed of someday living on a riverbank and being able to speedboat to work. Years later I recalled this and looked them up, wondering how much they cost; I was saddened to learn the maker had long since gone out of business, after fashion shifted to motorcycle-type jetskis. Having said all that, I totally get this mania for commuter quadcopters, I would have been drooling over them in my youth, too. Look there goes another one, you really should get one of these forcefield umbrellas. Oh dear, that’s not gonna buff out, here, get under this with me, I’ll walk you to work.
