I just don't own much of it. I've known about cell phones since they looked like GI Joe walkie talkies, but I didn't own one until about 4 years ago. You know...that kinda thing. I do have a couple of PC's and a laptop, but I guess that technology is coming close to the "tube TV" category. Tablet?...I-phone?...no got, no need. - So, I'm quizzin' my IT pal about patching together some of my old technology stuff to do things that are already re-designed as better mouse traps. He calls me old man Brettski and sends me this comic strip. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

Excerpt from Robert Crais' "The Monkey's Raincoat:" "She took another microscopic bite of her sandwich, then pushed it away. Maybe she absorbed nutrients from her surroundings."

I've only used my desktop if my phone was dead.. I believe in catch and release. I catch then release to the grease.. BG. CSBG. LMB. HSB. RES.

I have a desktop at work that has 7 screens attached to it and uses several memory intensive programs at once. A latptop or tablet couldn't do that..... Right tool for the right job.

Unless your taking a picture with your phone or video! The only difference between a rut and a Grave is the depth. So get up get out of that rut and get moving!! Time to work!!

Absolutely one of the best things about the trip was leaving technology behind.....How bout them packers?????? Looks like they got a bit of superbowl hangover going......talk about "hair of the Dog" almost felt sorry for the saints.
