Today I’m about to embark on a trip to a new land… Thailand. I’m still packing my backpack at 1300 (yes, that’s military time). I’m excited I have a chance to  see another country. My only concern, the 22-hour flight. Sure we as an intelligent species have accomplished many great achievements, but I’m shocked that no one has developed a way to get around the world in less than thirty minutes. We should stop focusing on hybrid vehicles and pour all of our R&D money in thirty minute world travel. Leading that charge, I’d nominate Dominos with there proven technology and guarantee to get a pizza to mostly anywhere in thirty minutes. With a business model and set of ethics like that they are our greatest hope. And who wouldn’t have to travel in a plane sponsored by a pizza franchise: A flight attendant over the intercom, “For our flight this afternoon we’ll offering full cheesy bread service and if you would like to order the special for this flight please hit the pizza button about your head next to the fasten seat belt light. Sure it would have some kinks, but what major revolutions technology don’t.

That imagination cloud aside, this will be an incredible trip- getting to see a part of the world that is only available to me through action movies and very tiny restaurants. It’ll be fun when the restaurant is the like the whole place and the I’ll be a character in the movie (another dream cloud).

I’ll left it that so I can get back to packing: now it’s 1415 (still military time).
