Every single time I get on a jet airplane, I marvel at the the fact it flies. Lift-off never, EVER gets old!
Yeah, I guess it's all physics, and plenty o' fossil fuel and whatnot, but it's still MAGIC in my world!
Likewise for my computer, the internet, e-ink, all that. OK, computers were around when I grew up, but they were HUGE beasts that occupied ROOMS at NASA, nothing like what we now have. I don't take it all for granted. I feel privileged that our mod cons exist every single darn day.
Naturally, I also feel rather happy that I'm still above ground!
