Oh man, the grass grows fast. Summer has exploded onto the scene and the trees and grass are unleashing a tidal wave of green. At this time of year that we must play the mowing game and struggle to keep up.
With the amount of land at my family's home, and the limited equipment to cut it (one lawnmower) the task is now comparable to fighting zombies. It's a losing battle.
And speaking of losing battles, have you seen the price of gas? Of course you have. These days you could spend $50 to top off a full tank. You go to get gas and you think the decimal point is in the wrong spot ... but it isn't!
People are saying that we need to develop alternative fuels to end our dependency on oil, and I agree. It would be great to power our cars with corn, water, or baby penguins, but what about developing new forms of transportation? I say we should focus on portals or matter transporters. You know? Like in the movie "The Fly".
No, wait! I recall something unfortunate happening involving some kind of insect. Maybe a wasp. But I think there is still some hope in the portal idea. Sure it would put airlines out of business, but think of how much money they'd make if they converted to Portal Stations. I'm sure there would still be line-ups like crazy, and just think of the hassle of going through security and immigration when you can travel across the world the blink of an eye. On second thought, I'd just rather stay home.
Gives me more time to curse at the grass.

Well, somebody has obviously never heard of Tesla Transportation.
This is
possible the sexiest thing you could ever wet dream over.
Alright, but that's an electric car. That's not a solution! It's just shuffling around the problem. What are we going to do when we run out of electricity?
We'll start traveling by pogo stick, is what.
