More than a Feeling

 

For some odd reason I keep expecting something in the mail that is going to be life changing.  I don’t know what or why, it’s just a feeling I have had for some time now.  Being a positive and upbeat type, I don’t believe it will be anything bad. 

Maybe some rich Hollywood person is going to turn this blog into a movie.  Hey!  It could happen.

Or one of my ideas from years back will, through an add set of circumstances, land on somebody’s desk and they’ll see the genius of it and make it happen.

I can tell you the one I’m thinking of, it dealt with airline tires.  By putting small curved flaps of rubber on the sidewalls, the moment the plane put the landing gear down, the wind would catch those flaps and immediately start rotating the tires.  When the plane touches down, the tires would already be spinning.  There would be much less friction, no loud squeal and smoke.  The tires would last much longer, and the airline would consequently save money.  Also it would be better for the surface of the runway.

I don’t remember now which airline I mailed my suggestion to, but I do remember they wrote back telling me to suggest it to tire manufacturers and not to them.  I think by that time, however, I was on to other things and never followed through.  I’m like that.

 

I’ll let you know the minute I get something in the mail that isn’t trying to sell me hearing aids.
