Oh man! That sideways elevator hit me hard. I have a recurring dream (nightmare) where I'm in an elevator going up a tall unfinished building. At the top the elevator goes out in the open and goes sideways around the perimeter of the roof of the building. I think I'll do without sideways elevators in reality.
A pint of Halo vanilla, please. I'll pass on the safety helmet and the $9995.00 glasses. Don't need Robot Jibo, especially at $900 Might be fun to try some of the other things on the list. I'll do that just as soon as I get everything on my own list. So don't wait for me, go ahead and get the ones you want and let me know how it goes. Cheerio.
Hey there Ms. Frankel, Thanks for keeping us up to date on these new inventions. Not all of them are "my style" but that helmet is a very good one.
