This Glass is 51 Percent Full- For Pete
When faced with choosing Optimism over Pessimism, I’m going with a new credo: 51% Positive!!! Enough to be more Positive than Negative; cautiously optimistic.
Frogs are Cute
Admit it, even big strong men cannot resist the cuteness of a tiny frog. These little ones fill the South Carolina marshes with their croaking nightly. Very loud, but also serene.
Many Roosting Herons
These Herons roost here every night, this is only one place they sleep. Within a few miles, they number in the hundreds. For you photo geeks out there: this one’s at 3200 iso, noise prompts conversion to B & W.
Mobile Contact to / from the ‘Remote’
Technology users may soon use a device or a process to consciously reject information / data / content and contact.
A paid exit from electronic communication, cable / sat TV, for x amount of time. Filter stuff we don’t want. No news, no business, no sports, no friends or family (?). Where to draw the line, which friends / family?
No Service for the cell phone, no network for the laptop, no converter box on the cable less TV. No newspapers. No paper mail. How remote would the location be to have no contact? How far away would you need to go? Everest, The Amazon, Africa can all connect to a Satellite in space. Winnebago and other big RV’s have satellite antennas mounted on top. Park at he nearest Jellystone Park, hook up electric, water and sewage while watching 500 channels in the land yacht.
Electricity is key for longer than a few days…
Our need for constant contact is a new phenomenon of our behavior. Of course, I bring my phone when I’m out in the boonies and could turn an ankle. I would want to be accessible if one of my family or friends needed me. I’d rather have the cell signal than not.
But sometimes we need to have no signal. We need help filtering the stuff that we care about, but perhaps can’t do anything about. No politics for the poly junkie, no Yankees for the fan, no Perez for the celeb obsessed, no lamebook, no twits, no phone calls.
Clean the office, keep, recycle, trash.
Give your brain a break for a while; synthesize the stuff you have now.
