Tastefully done, as usual! I love the 'live-art' walls.

Enjoy...

In 1895 there were two automobiles in the whole state of Ohio...

Due to the lack of cars, as one would imagine, there were no car accidents.

Except once, when these two, aforementioned, automobiles (again, the only two in Ohio) ran into each other!

Currently, there are approximately 36,000 highway deaths per year or about 102 per day. 50% are due to alcohol or some other drug induced impairment.

The first part (Ohio) above may be untrue, but it does make the point, albeit, in a rather circuitous way...if we could snap our fingers and have instantly driverless cars we would take the drunks out of the equation and save over 18,000 lives per year...just doing that would be worth it. 

Imagine if it could reduce highway deaths completely....Hmmm.

Best.

P.S. In 2016, 2,433 teens in the United States ages 16–19 were killed and 292,742 were treated in emergency departments for injuries suffered in motor vehicle crashes. That means that six teens ages 16–19 died every day due to motor vehicle crashes and hundreds more were injured.

In 2016, young people ages 15-19 represented 6.5% of the U.S. population. However, they accounted for an estimated $13.6 billion (8.4%) of the total costs of motor vehicle injuries.

I remember years back when Japan was a tough market. Pundits were saying Apple is having trouble cracking the market b/c They used their phones to pay for the trains and as small TV's.

Hmmm...

My father was the Marketing VP for Sealtest Foods (owned by Kraft) in the 1970's.

Think, Breyer's premium ice cream, before Häagen-Dazs, and Light and Lively yogurt, before Yoplait (Yoplait is now the largest franchise brand of yogurt). Think 'sugar!' 

But their main business was Milk. 

He used to tell me the industry regarded the profit margin on milk as an 'eagle,' (Golf reference) I.E., The Profit Margin was three decimal places to the right, e.g., .001%.

He'd say, "we're just wearing out the plant machinery and the delivery trucks."

He's also say, "Son, have you ever had a cow sneeze on you?" I'd say, "No." And he'd continue, "But you can imagine it, right? Now, on that half-pound of phlegm, put a cherry on top and a sliced banana around it and you have 'Ice Cream!'"

Thx Dad.
