    Default Sign of the times?

    There is a large play area outside the back of my house; it was quite common for kids to knock and ask if they could get a ball back which they had kicked into my garden.
    Just now, young kid about 7 asking if he can get his drone back.

    Drones, oh no!

    We were in a country market a few weeks ago, one where they have all manner of stalls selling every thing from fresh food to new clothes and old crap etc.
    You can buy a tray of fresh eggs there for about half the normal price.

    On one stall selling all manner of old goods was a Drone, plastic one.

    Picked it up to have a look and noticed there were batteries in it and a light flashing.
    Though no more and put it down.
    Next to it what looked like a switch box.
    Picked that up to have a look and the Drone took off at a rate of knots, obviously the controls for the Drone.

    The lady who owned the stall shouted at me as a dozen other potential customers watched as the Drone flew into the unknown.
    I decided to go as there was little I could do.

    Then another potential customer told her, your fault for leaving it switched on and did you know it is illegal to fly them over houses, that one just went over a number of them.

    I kept walking.

    Back there a few weeks later, no sign of her or the Drone.
