Lunch by Drone?
Lunch by Drone?
What strange people would want to use a phone
to have their lunch delivered by drone?
That idea wouldn't seem so daft
if stranded on a lifeboat or raft
but otherwise would it increase the pleasure
of any of our hard won gustatory leisure?
Please take that flying burrito away!
and (hopefully) bring back Escoffier.

USATODAY:
SAN FRANCISCO — No need to pinch yourself. This is not a dream. Google parent Alphabet really is delivering Chipotle burritos by drone.
This month, a small group of hungry students and employees will get their burrito orders lowered on a winch from a hovering drone on the Virginia Tech campus, making the drone-delivered burrito of geeky fantasies a reality — at least for a chosen few. Lunch will be prepared by Chipotle at a nearby food truck.
This is Alphabet's first test of drone delivery on the U.S. public. It's being conducted by Project Wing, part of X, the Alphabet lab that cooks up experimental projects for the Internet giant. Project Wing will run hundreds of flights and deliveries at a test site approved by the Federal Aviation Administration.
