Most of us remember it. The Radio Flyer. The little red wagon many of us had as kids. I had one. I used to help mom bring groceries back from the store with and wore out my shoes using them as brakes as I coasted down the hills of San Francisco where I grew up.
Well, as I saw on CNN last night, the people who make the little red wagon are udating it. It's not going to be simply a box on wheels with a handle up front anymore. The new one will have modern sculptured look with two tandem seats. It will have a digital speedometer and clock (they didn't say anything about a GPS) and a place to plug in your blackberry and cell phone. The only thing left from the original little red wagon is the handle bar in the front.
As time goes on I feel more and more like a Flintsone living in a Jetson world. Maybe that's why I spend more and more time in my California Classic world of 60 years ago on my flight simulator as I enter my 75th year.
