Jet Packs

I saw this in the New York Times:

"It's been my life's dream to see the parade live. Once it starts, it means the holidays are here. My other dream is to get a jet pack."
- NICHOLAS PERDUE, a 16-year-old at the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade.

Back when I was 10 and dreaming of having a flying car and a jet pack, who would have imagined that in the 21st Century, some kid would be dreaming about getting a jet pack. The dream has still not come to fruition.

He obviously has no hope for a flying car in his future.

Flying cars? Jet packs? Hmmm.

I always dreamt of owning the Crown Jewels.
