To: Recovering Ex-hippie

I’m 63. I remember ‘getting connected’ with mobile phones in the late 80s. Before that, my wife and I and family communicated as needed, and we ‘planned’. Makes you think about what you plan to do with your life that day.

You make adjustments. You think about your daily plans and you communicate them with your loved ones. Just like I used to do. These damned phones are an anchor, and most of the convenient connection is for useless crap. And, they cost an assload...mine is $150 per month. I just don’t damn need it like my employer used to pay for.

Think about it. You and your lovey will have to talk to each other in the morning (tell them what you plan on) and at night (tell them what you did, etc.). Not just some damned text that says “K” or “Bye” or whatever.

I’m not saying it ain’t gonna be hard, but hell, life is much harder these days, and I could sure use a break from the latest Drudge or FR post that reminds me our country is dying.

I believe in communication also, planning ahead...
When they cut us off completely - REMEMBER all of us
should meet at our local LIBRARY - we all can’t get
to D.C. so we need our local gathering places.
See ya there - it won’t be long.
