About Me
- possum
- I am not a Shakespeare buff, but I found this quote the other day and think it reflects most of what I try to put on here: "And this our life, exempt from public haunt, / Finds tongues in trees, books in the running brooks, / Sermons in stones, and good in everything." -William Shakespeare, playwright and poet (1564-1616)... I hope you find something on here you can enjoy. Thanks for visiting my little corner of town where the nice part about living in a small town is that when you don't know what you are doing, someone else does. And I can even post pictures to prove it!

I see person after person walking past my house while texting or talking on a cellphone. When I pass them on the sidewalk, they don't even see me much less speak to me. Sometimes—oftentimes—I see people in groups of two or three, each of them on a cellphone. I also see parents walking their children, but no interacting with them because they, the parents, are on a cellphone. It’s so odd, this implication that people who aren’t actually with a person are ever so much more interesting than those who are.
It is truly a fact that many people simply have lost the ability to communicate without means of an electronic device. That said, of course, by posting this comment on a PC I am doing much the same.

Looks like I've joined the teddy bear club--ha.

Yes, but you’re not walking, driving, or biking down the street with the world shut-out, and you’re not rudely forcing other people to listen to your conversations with disembodied others. There’s a rudeness about these “devices.” Yesterday, I was behind another customer at the drugstore, and this person talked on her cellphone while being waited on, completely omitting any acknowledgement of the clerk’s humanity. She might as well have been going through a self-check.
Thanks for sending this to me. I passed it on to at least 5 others but I wonder if it will do any good.
