Yeah, that was good. Especially after coming home from the airport where we sat watching all the people walking through the terminal with their faces buried in their i-Phones. Our conversation was pretty much along these same lines.
No doubt there is a potential downside to it, like many things. Or many new things. Hopefully it will settle out.
But the earbuds too -- I saw a coworking with them in her ears while she was walking in downtown Mystic yesturday. The "outside" hardly needed more "something" added to it. It was beautiful out and people everywhere. But she is sort of already like that. -- and the sameness look to everyone I'll confess is creepy. Or can be. Maybe that's why they call them iPods...after the Body Snatchers. Don't fall asleep, indeed! ;-)
The industrialization of agriculture is stopping up the source of decency in the world.-- Don Colacho
Gloria:Do you know that sixty percent of all deaths in America are caused by guns? Archie Bunker:Would it make you feel any better, little girl, if they was pushed out of windows?

It was a war of words and speaking just as much as a war of iron and blood. If the fighting was sometimes noble and brave, it was because certain words were in the minds of men. If the fighting was sometimes stupid and vicious, it was because certain other words were in the minds of men. Whatever else Churchill may have been doing in those days, he was always providing the English with words.-- Robert Mitchell, Less Than Words Can Say
