I now have a drone...
No, it isn't a Predator, and it isn't for peeking on my neighbors. 
It's just a toy, basically.
(I paid $25 for it.)
Runs on it's wheels, or can fly.
Once I get the hang of flying and driving it, I'll wait until the weather gets better then take it outside.

It would be interesting to go way beyond the houses and roads and look for critters, although I guess it depends on the range. Have fun with your new toy.
our two sons and our daughter, all in their 40s and early 50s (Mr. froggy is 75), fly drones, and so do their sons and daughters. They love it, and have a lot of fun with the drones. Mr. froggy belongs to our local RC flying club and our kids belong to theirs. Fun people and fun times for everyone at the meets.
I'm happy to say that it all started about 5 years ago when I bought Mr. f and each of our kids a palm-size helicopter for Xmas at Think Geek. I done good. 
The first few times I flew it, it was scary as hell. Knowing that my $600 was 200 feet in the air and nothing but a piece of software keeping it there was not comforting.
I have gotten a little less scared with more flights. Be glad you don't have to get a drone license. It's one of the harder tests I have ever taken.
