I don't think I need drone delivery. Just seeing that coming to my front door will make me want to run and duck.

Uh wow that one I would have to think about - it is kind of weird to think about a drone coming onto my property delivering groceries or anything else.  I guess because LOL the weird shows I have been watching about aliens all seem to include evil drones.
