Cool things

Anna showed me this cool website that has pages and pages of cool things. I have a few favorites that I will share now.
1) A stuffed roadkill rabbit. It is funny to me to imagine someone sewing and stuffing plush rabbit guts. It isn't very cuddly though, and I cannot imagine any place in the home where it would not be offensive. I guess that is what blogs are for then.

2) A hot tub with a tv and dvd player. Really, what more could you ask for? I could spend hours in there. This is the caption that went with the picture:
For $ 29,000 get a bath tube with waterproof surround speakers, DVD player, CD, AM, FM, a 42″ HD display and off course, the remote control floats.

3) This thing is called the AquaSkipper. This is the best invention ever. You could do anything if you had one of these. I would feel invincible, no joke.

The AquaSkipper in action:



That is the end of my blog about great new products. I would also like to mention that I have been thinking about the moon landing recently. I even mentioned this in my lesson today. It is one of those things that everyone knows about, but it still blows my mind away when I really think about it. It is in outer space! People have walked on it! Played golf! The MOON! Man... people are pretty awesome. In my mind, the coolest things our world has to offer are doctors and astronauts.
Neither has ever been a career aspiration though.
When I was younger (and older) I wanted to be a carpenter, race-car driver, diplomat, teacher, and detective, but never a doctor or astronaut. Well, maybe an astronaut. What about you? What do you think the coolest/most respectable/funnest jobs are, and what do you want to do in some years from now?
I still have plans to open up a dessert cafe/bike shop/private investigation clinic or whatever. It will be the coolest place ever. When Anna and I would go to IKEA in Utah, I would always plan out how it would look.

I wanted to be an astronaut and a jet fighter pilot when I was younger. Then I realized you needed at least 60/20 vision without corrective lenses to be an astronaut or a jet fighter pilot. The American dream shattered at the moment for me. You know how teachers tell you that you can be whatever you want to be if you just work hard enough? Well, it's not true. I'm not allowed to be an astronaut of fighter pilot.

I am going to start a secret savings account to save up to buy us that water skipper--then in a few years when you have forgot about this comment I will buy it and give it to you for your birthday and you will be so so so happy, and we will be the heroes of the neighborhood.
