What did he use to launch it so far?

If only other people realized when they peaked… I’m talking to you, Hollywood

It’s all downhill from here.

In some cases, not hearing of Instagram may be a good thing…

As I suddenly miss riding motorcycle! And the VW Trike motorcycle was fun and companionship!

It’s okay, you’ll come around.

Sometimes, what feels like a dead end has great potential.

I saw where some folks in the 1950s came up with a procedure to make what we know as graphene and do it relatively efficiently and cheaply.

Oh, and sometimes we cling to the old and well known long after better has presented itself.

He looks wheely down….

Well, you can use that stone as a grinder.

How about inventing sliced bread?

Predecessor to the Antikythera mechanism?

“Particles of raw inspiration sleet through the universe all the time. Every once in a while one of them hits a receptive mind, which then invents DNA or the flute sonata form or a way of making light bulbs wear out in half the time. But most of them miss. Most people go through their lives without being hit by even one.” Wyrd Sisters, Terry Pratchett

Inspiration for two-three-and four-wheel uses whizzing right by. . .

Give it a few months and you can invent the snow wheel.

It has been said that the wheel was invented during the Bronze Age, after the Neolithic (New Stone) Age when mankind stopped being nomadic hunters and gatherers and started forming communities. Mankind discovered bronze and similar metals and started creating metal versions of tools previously made of stone, then created new tools like the hand saw. It’s likely that the first wheels were potter’s wheels, then wheels for carts and so on.

Never could get the whole ABS thing to work out?

Yeah that happens. Just start working on something else a. I’m sure it is a dead end anyway. Soooo, when is that patent due to expire anyway?

Fellow “A”, just be patient, it’ll float back with annotated with a funny limerick from Nantucket.

Thor also feels piqued.

Your fellow citizen almost peaked.

As a fellow inventor – if I had peaked at the wheel, I would take that just fine.
