1-2 cha-cha-cha

Opinions, opinions, opinions ...
Everybody's got one ...

I have to admire your commitment to bringing up these issues.

Lyrics/music on stage.
Sitting/ Standing while playing
Stereo/Mono
Singing/instrumentals

According to all these opinions, I've been doing it all wrong all these years.

I'll just keep on doing what has worked successfully for me.

Most of yesterday was spent at the University of Maryland Upper Chesapeake Medical Center's ER with Carol. There were just over 20 ppl in the waiting room, and all but two, myself and another old guy, had a smart phone in their hand. They ignored everything that was going on around them and their thumbs were rapidly pounding and scrolling their touch screens. I consider this an addiction at the very least.

Sadly, I see this same activity in my grandson and my step grand daughters. They would be in a state of panic if the battery died, or God forbid, they leave their phones at home. Thankfully, my daughter took my grandson's smart phone away from him and now he spends most of his tie outdoors playing baseball, football and other games with the other kids in his neighborhood that are not I-phone addicted.

A few weeks ago, Carol and I went to a nearby restaurant to have dinner. Sitting next to us was a young couple in their early 20s. The girl was drop-dead gorgeous, the young man was clean shaven and, according to Carol, quite handsome. They were both glued to their I-phones. When I was young, and dating Carol, the very last thing I would have been looking at was the screen of a smart phone. Hell, they may even have been texting to each other because that was the only way they knew how to communicate.

Just My Opinion,

Gary (the old dude)

Gary not an opinion but FACT it's everywhere
CELL PHONES RULE the World's attention now in every aspect of life!

I have not turned mine on since yesterday when I called my daughter to tell her that we were on our way home from the hospital. So, I guess it doesn't rule everyone's life - just the folks that cannot see anything beyond their touch screens.

The only reason I purchased a smart phone was for safety purposes. I use mine hands free with a blue-tooth ear receiver while driving. The main reason I purchased the phone was for the weather radar app and marine navigational app. My boat has radar, but the range is just 25 miles. I need to know there is a thunderstorm coming from a much greater distance than 25 miles, because the boat's top speed is just 10 MPH. Most thunderstorms travel at 35 to 55 MPH. If the storm is moving at 55 MPH, and I see it on my ship's radar, I only have 30 to find a sheltered creek or cove before the storm hits me. If I see it on the app, and it's 100 miles away, the app tells me the speed and direction of travel, giving me a far better margin of time to reach safety and drop the anchor.

The Navionics app provides me with a backup for my GPS Plotter, which is my primary, and most accurate, navigational tool. If my ship's GPS/Plotter goes out, the phone provides me a backup.

Finally, when I'm on the boat, I can keep up with all the stuff going on here at the Zone.

Horseless Carriages will never last.

It's a different world out there today.

Now it's "not cool" if you aren't on your cell phone.



Gotta go now. I have to answer another scam call on my cell phone.

Admission: I don't even have a cell phone.

Gary, maybe all those other folks in the waiting room were in there about their carpal tunnel syndrome.
