This weekend is Fall Break for my school. During breaks, I typically opt to go home to Tulsa. It takes about 4 hours to go home, so I use these extended breaks to visit my family. My college town is relatively small, only about 30,000 people live there. Tulsa and the surround areas have a combined population of roughly 800,000. There are lots of things to do in Tulsa, like movies and shopping and museums and stuff, but Tulsa also has things that suck.
Like traffic.
My car has been making funny noises lately, so I figured I would have it looked at while I was at home. My father and I went to pick up my car from the shop this evening. The traffic was so terrible that it took 30 minutes to drive 6 miles. And that's when I started thinking...
What the hell happened to flying cars?
Remember all of those pamphlets and books about the future from the 1950s? They had some cool shit in them. Like time travel. And jet-packs. And flying cars. I distinctly remember the future was most definitely going to have flying cars in it.
Someone seriously dropped the ball on that one.
Don't worry! According to Back the Future, we'll have flying cars in the year 2015. We're getting close!
