118 years ago people scoffed at the Wright Brothers, look how far we've come since then.

With technology now growing exponentially, one can only wonder what people will be in store for 100 years from now.

I have no doubt there will be flying cars and multiple industries making them like the auto companies today.

Sure wish I could be alive to witness that future.......

As a side note, back around 2000 while on a pheasant hunting trip in N.W. Kansas, we stayed one night in the home of a 94 year old lady who grew up in that town of Logan KS.

Over breakfast we listened to her brief history of surviving the great dust bowl in the 1930's and as a child, every Friday her family would take the horse and buggy into town for supplies..........

The house in town where she lived was built outside of town and her father had it towed into town by mule train, rolling it over the tops of logs until it was located where it is today.

She was a living history book.........
