This is my life list. It's actually got... most of the stuff on this is actually crossed off, I'm noticing. Or half of it is, anyway. It does keep getting longer faster than it gets shorter. So it's kind of in categories. The first category is rides. So things I still have never done: I have never landed an airplane; I've never ridden on a rocket ship; I've never gotten to drive a tank, and I've never gotten to ride in a deep sea bathysphere. So those are on my list, but I see the rides, I've done an awful lot of them, like flying a helicopter and hovercraft and blimps, so... Like driving in the nuclear submarine, that got crossed off, so I think I'm doing pretty well in that category.
The next one is places to go. I recently got to cross off the Galapagos. I didn't really cross off Papua New Guinea. It was on my list, but I feel like I still have to go back, so it's in the sort of half crossed off version. But you know I still have some places like the South Pole, which I really want to go to, I've never been. Easter Island, I've never been to. Actually, I see I still have Borneo. I can cross that off. I've now been to Borneo, although I don't really feel... I think that's going to have to go in the halfway list. I don't really feel like I've seen Borneo. So... and yes, I've never really spent time on the Amazon. I definitely have to do that. And I've never been to New Zealand, so... Those are definitely in the category to be done.
And then there are sort of man-made sites that I want to go and see. Like here, well, like the Truk Lagoon is supposed to be a really interesting place to go diving, where all the sunken ships are. I've never seen the carving of Crazy Horse, and that's definitely on the category. Or in Budapest, there's the... there's supposedly a place that has still tube carriers, a tube where... pneumatic tubes, and there's the switching station where they take an envelope out of one tube and move it to another tube, and I really want to see that while they're still doing it. I've never been to Luxor, I've never been to St Petersburg, so there's a very long list here of places like that that I need to go visit. I've actually never even seen Mount Rushmore, so... Like, I really want to go into the... some of them are sort of half done. I just went to Afghanistan, but I've never to the lapis lazuli mines in Afghanistan, so that's on the list. And I would love to go to the Gobi Desert in China. I've never seen the Great Wall. So there's a long list of those. I've definitely... like there's St Patrick's Well in Orvieto, which I think is a lot like my spiral staircase, except it's a much cleverer design. It's a double helix so that people can be going down to the well and other people can be going up that Leonardo Da Vinci built. I've always wanted to visit that. And I've always wanted to go into Water Tunnel Number Three that's going into New York that's being constructed, that's going to bring water into New York. This huge construction under New York that most New Yorkers don't even know exists.
