There's gift I've ever received has to be a bike when I was younger, a pedal bike.

It was a sort of slick little road bike and I remember it was all like it was so it was all wrapped up

but it was so obvious what it was obviously because nothing shaped like a bike and I had a little ribbon on it and I was so

I guess. For that was a life changer and I'm still sort of big on cycling around my area now so for that one change me a little.

Enjoy in every sip with red cups now back at Starbucks.

So later Walmart did something that they really deserve credit for.

They developed proprietary software that was able to fair it out when elderly people were being scammed and to buy gift cards by some con artist threatening that their kid was in jail or something like that.

I'm going to tell you what Walmart is done but it's just to drop in the bucket of fraud against the elderly.

So let's talk about something fun. I read a story in a new Jersey newspaper called North Jersey dot com is actually the website of a newspaper in the Newark area and it's about a hamburger

and a vending machine that the reviews seen that did one and USA today did one this paper did one that said the burgers really good and you go up to this vending machine and it's a robotic machine that makes your burger

cooks it and serves it fresh is not one that has your burger pre-cooked on a warmer something or goes in a microwave after you buy it.

No, this is like a good juicy burger according to the people who've tried it and the burger costs mid price six dollars and change.

And for cheeseburger and the machine.

Chris, if you've seen the picture of this machine.

Yes, right here.

Yep.

This kind of thing that takes up very little for space is going to be a solution for a lot of things I still remember years and years ago.

Seeing in first time ever saw it was in Switzerland a fully automated convenience store and now these are very common across Europe where twenty-five is a day every day of the year you can go to this convenience store and get stuff.

But it's a whole different level of convenience when food is available and I look at the lines traveling in airports virtually every week the lines of people trying to get food or want to Christ is over price Starbucks and an airport or whatever.
