JANUARY PRIZE: WHO’S THIRSTY FOR SOME WATERMELON WATER?

You know, if you had asked me when I was just a young ‘un back in 1984 what the year 2014 would look like, I would have imagined a world with flying cars and jet packs and tiny supercomputers that people carried around with them in their pockets.
