Never leave me. I love you the most.

I'm looking for a remote cabin in Montana.

In the meantime, my doomsday bunker construction is proceeding well.

Down deep I'm really a technophobe. i really think people are happy when their lives are simple, and all of this crap in our lives is definitely not making it simple.

[JackofDiamonds]

You know what makes my life simpler? Being able to pay my bills online. Being able to check the score of the game whenever I want to without even going past the homescreen of my phone, let alone actually watch the game on my phone/iPad/TV while streaming over a wireless network. Finding directions to the new restaurant and having the computer give me turn by turn navigation. Depositing a check with my cell phone. Having the information of the world at my fingertips. Carrying thousands of pages of books and magazines on my tablet. Talking face to face with my friends/family that live thousands of miles away from me. Having a personal assistant app on my phone alert me for all of my calendar events and task reminders.

You use a computer for navigation? Good lord. People are missing the world they live in with their noses buried in their electronic gizmos.

Yeah, my nose is in my phone. That's how I hear the next turn. I use my nose.

Also, try driving in Boston. Streets intersect themselves, stop and start in different parts of the city going in completely different directions, and switch which one-way is allowed as you go from block to block.

I'm always let down when I see an attractive lady in public on their smartphone. It's more of a turn off/disappointing than if they were picking their nose, smoking cigarettes, belching etc.

Doesn't everyone use GPS?

When people are walking through a busy store, sidewalk, event looking down at their phone and they are in my path, they get shoulder checked.
