Good morning , Everyone - wishing a good day for all of us.

Good morning Sour, have a great day

@janiedoe and @Blooie your daughters are truly beautiful young ladies. I wish my son would have got hitched, Oh! I forgot he did, to the Airforce.
Good morning Mark, have a great day

@Blooie and @janiedoe beautiful grands... I think those of us who grew up prior to the electronic age were luckier than our kids and grandkids. We learned to find things to entertain us not in the electronic spectrum.

Good morning Bob Are you getting around better now?

Hopefully going to the store today without the walker. We'll see how I do.

This talk about electronics and kids today remind me of a strange story...

In my former life I manufactured training kits. They contained guns and explosive simulants that looked so real only a chemical lab could prove they weren't. It was small scale production so all done manually in assembly line fashion. Each station had a bar code scanner and parts they were responsible for adding. The cases would slide down a long series of tables with stuff scanned and added at each station. One day the line kept getting disrupted (i.e. increasing my cost). I went to see why and found that one of the young guys on the line was paying more attention to his phone than his job. So I took his phone away and walked over to put it on his desk. When I got to his desk his phone started ringing so I answered it. It was his wife, he hadn't returned her text. She wanted to talk to him. I asked if it was an emergency, she said no. Then I politely told her he'd call her back when he was on break. The next day he came in and quit. Told me he couldn't work under such circumstances.

That story isn't so strange any more, unfortunately. It's a crazy world out there!

Good morning, Mark, and thank you. There is still hope for your boy.
I hope Susie is feeling much better now. The flowers are gorgeous.

This is just typical of today's workforce. It's a real problem. I found it hard to hire anyone that could pay attention to their job, during the last years that our business was open. They feel that they have a right to their phones, even though they are on someone else's time.
I worry most about my granddaughter. Her whole life is an open book. Every mistake she makes and every thought she has, is documented on social media. I'm glad that we didn't have this technology when I was young, because I was just as naive as she is, and no more prone to listening to my parents.
I'm pretty sure that people will have their phones implanted into them at birth someday.

I'm glad we didn't have all this tech when I was a kid either Janie.

Who wants to look back at some point in the future and see all the mistakes they made in the past out there for the whole world to see?

Hi Bob, you also! I would love too. I’ve never been to Tennessee…or really anywhere.
