Why, yes, we *do* live in the future

I live in rural Massachusetts, down in a hollow with only a swath of viewable sky from the bottom of my driveway.

My GPS picks up eight, count 'em *8* satellites from that spot.

Me, too -- my whole family went out onto the driveway one night, to watch a tiny dot of light that was the satellite going over.

Yup, I was out there with my family, kids in pajamas. We were thrilled.
