I will step away from the semi-regular almost never posts and talk for a moment about the importance of the shoe porch. I don’t have a shoe porch but dammit I wish I did. I would store shoes there. Removes my shoes there. All shoe related activities could take place there. I would not have a large pile of muddy/snowy wet shoes just inside my kitchen door. It would be great.

I have always loved the idea of giant magnetically levitated flywheels in a vacuum storing energy as they spin at incredibly high speeds.
