Robots can jump…
Technology changes rapidly, sometimes its a full-time gig just keeping up with it. Our military seems to keep a solid grip on all the latest advancements, if it wasn’t for military investment this blog wouldn’t exist. (thanks DARPA!)
Hence our ability to fight a large percentage of our wars remotely. There’s a ton of debate within our military of just how high that percentage will ultimately become. But, I’m a believer in that we are only bounded by the limits of our imagination when it comes to the defense of our country.
Have a peek at this remote controlled car. Can you imagine how this could be used to help our military? Picture it being very quiet…padded wheels…with a camera, a mic or even an explosive. Remote controlled vehicles were originally conceived by Nikola Tesla in the 1800’s….but they continue to evolve….DAILY!

Friggin Italians…
Those Italian cab drivers have a way with the ladies don’t they? We all know Italian guys love the Irish chicks….but does Bobby really have to trash Irish dudes while running his game on female passengers? You know what they say about big feet right? …
Jump ya losah!!
Someone reminded me of the Quincy Quarries today and I thought of the fun I used to have up there on hot summer days. Today would have been perfect for a leap off of rooftop (which was the size of a triple decker)
But I never had the guts to jump Swingles….these kids get the badge!!

The sounds of St. Paddy’s…
So I’m running around today, beating up old ladies for the last point cut corned beef, chasing down beers and perhaps some Bushmills.
And then I paused for a second….and started to really think about tomorrow, my family and my history. We showed up here in the 1850’s, starving and wanting a better life. Boston provided it all for my family, and still does to this day. Sure enough….the Dropkick Murphy’s pop on my radio…but not any song….Fields of Anthenry. I seriously got the goosebumps….

I’m very proud of my roots, it’s important to never forget where you came from. The spirit that brought our families here to America is at it’s very core what being a Dot Rat is all about regardless of where your particular roots lie.
You adapt and cease your moments. You survive, you grind, you work hard and you play hard….and you NEVER QUIT!!!!
Happy St. Patrick’s Day to you from us here at DotRat.com
