Good Day World!
I’m down on drones.
Not the one’s the military are using – that’s another story.

Meanwhile, the lax regulation we have consists largely of an educational campaign that warns drone pilots of the few rules that exist, such as no flights more than 400 feet in the air, or no flights within 5 miles of an airport.

Time for me to walk on down the road…
