Future goals? Working to see the direct connection between man, machine and the road remaining under the spotlights – this is a value that should be preserved!
Oh, and teaching his cat how to ride a bicycle, even if he has to do the pedaling, steering and balancing. No, really, that's okay, so why do you hate your human, kitty?
