    Dave-

    That is pretty cool! I guess it's a good thing that the voluptuous blonde that was riding with you got out of the car a few minutes earlier! (seriously just kidding!!)

    I think this technology is both cool and a bit worrisome! We will have to see which way it goes...

    Thanks for the pics; pretty fun!

    Regards,

    Steve

    Talking Google got me too!

    Hello Dave!

    That is awesome! I think that your post can very well be the start of a "Google got me" trend. Here is mine.
