@jt A&I: re: the IDEA

"A LIGHTBULB MOMENT'

riding home on a dark road in silence thinking about tomorrow today going over jobs/errands/appointments on the ToDo List grooving on the late-summer nightsounds serenading the minimalist beauty of streetlamps wildflowers shadows by the sides of the yellow stripe on the black road it mixes its colors and paints itself or it's a finished sculpture on a pedestal in a cityscape or you're picturing how some simple gizmo that should be right in the middle of similars but isn't would make that job tomorrow so much easier and suddenly from straight out of the mind's eye
A LIGHT BULB IN A THOUGHT BALLOON IS FLYING ALONGSIDE THE CAR

inventors - WOW the reason the THING can't be found might be because IT doesn't exist on the market, and IT can jerry-rigged for the job, tested, researched, perhaps developed.
artists - WOW the objet with plans of how to bring IT to be came flying in all by itself as it so often does

ASAP! we exit the road to capture the idea so IT is not lost!
