Impractical Dreams
What do you do with the things in life that you would want to do, but if you did them, you’d be destroying your life? Not because they were immoral, but because you would have to devote your life’s resources to things that are very low on the list of priorities. On a recent family road trip to Idaho, I made the comment that it would be fun to own a small, fast airplane that could get us there almost as time efficiently as an airline (I have a pilots license but haven’t used it for years). If you take out getting to the airport early for security, baggage and boarding, the small plane is on par with a commercial flight for the distance we were going. Just for fun I asked my wife to look up really fast, four seat airplanes to see what price they are going for. The four to six seat planes I inquired about start at $300,000 and could get us places at over 300 miles per hour. We looked at financially out of reach planes and dreamed….and then came back down to earth. All thoug
