Watching the news yesterday morning, it reminded me of an unusual site I saw back in November.
As we travelled south, I had a notebook at hand in
the glovebox of the car to remember little things that we saw along the way.
This was my favourite.
As we turned off of the freeway and down into our familiar
neighbourhood with just one km left in our 2200 km journey, I saw for the very
first time a Golf Cart going along the sidewalk. Now in this area, that is not
unusual, however what was different about this – the banner across the hood of
the cart read UPS.
Yes, the familiar brown shorted clad driver stopping along
the way with the back of the cart full of parcels set for delivery. On
reflection, I wish we would have stopped on the side of the road to watch for a
while.
I have not seen the golf cart since and now that same familiar company is trying out a pilot project to have drones land on top of their trucks. I will need to continue to keep my eyes open for
drone landings on the famous brown trucks at the next traffic light along the
way.
