There'll come the day when a rover sends out his autonomous,
self-driving vehicle, loaded with computers for navigating grids,
controlling skeds, logging, spotting, texting, uploading contest logs,
requesting certificates and awards for grids/counties/WAS/whatever,
renewing the license (if need be)  --- and the "license holder" can stay
home and watch pap on TV.
