I wonder how long it will be until we have robots that are, as Mr. Data described himself in Star Trek-TNG, “fully functional”.

On a different note, the tech is there to create a much cheaper robot that could simply report whether “Dad” had wandered off the property...

[GATOR NAVY]

We lived in Navy housing that overlooked Huis Ten Bosch in Sasebo. Never saw the real attraction of the place, although I understand it was moderately successful in its early years. Lately it has had a lot of financial troubles and changed ownership.

The green-roofed buildings in the right background are the Navy housing area. The towers in the distance are part of a WWII Japanese Navy antennae array.
