Very impressed with the Hyundai concept “Walking Car.”
It can drive, walk, and climb.
I heard that this thing can even climb over walls and jump over gaps!
(Ah, I’m not going to say anything about border security with this–let’s just hope the bad guys don’t get this).
This is the closest that we’ve come to Hollywood’s Transformers.
This is much more than a vehicle for search and rescue–this is ALL-TERRAIN!
Great job Hyundai–I’d love to test drive this beauty! 😉
So sometimes you don’t know that something is happening until it is too late.
A colleague yesterday told me this great simile:
It’s like when you put a frog in a pot of water and turn up the heat, the frog doesn’t know what’s happening until it’s too late, and he ends up being boiled alive!
With better knowledge of the context, of course, you can have the foresight to act, to fight, to get out, whatever.
Similarly with the frog, if you throw him into an already boiling pot of water, he immediately jumps out, and viola he’s saved.
It’s really important to have good situational and political awareness.
Not everyone out there is so innocent–even when they have a good act and pretend, “Who me?”
Many of them know how to work the system, so that the system works for them.
G-d forbid, when you’re in the way, they’ll often turn up the heat.
And if you don’t realize what going on, you’ll be the frog that’s a not so tasty dinner. 😉

These shoes are called Kangoo Jumps.
They provide the high-tech bounce for dancing, running, or other exercise.
This video is from their 2014 International Festival in Florida that I had the opportunity to watch.
Amazing what the participants were able to do and the fun they had.
I’d like a pair and to be able to kick up my heels like that too. 😉

Took the girls to Sky Zone today.
It’s an indoor trampoline extravaganza.
The kids had a great time–jumping around, doing acrobatics, bumping off the trampoline walls, and even playing trampoline dodgeball.
I got left holding the bag (literally!)–all their handbags and stuff.
Thank G-d, I was able to lose myself in the fun and photography. 😉
