We were out for a motorcycle ride today when a family van with an Indian license plate overtook us at a good clip, the face of the driver scowlingly tense. Robin said, “the GPS must have gone on the blink. Maybe that’s why Mom’s on her cell phone.” Two of the three children in the rear were attached to wires: a boy bobbing his head to I’m sure some MP3, a girl next to him staring at a DVD screen viewed from overhead, and the other child, of which I’m not sure the gender, was bent over some electronic game being played in his hands.. Clearly there were enough virtual realities available in the vehicle to entertain several ranch hands for a few months.
As all of us travelers know, inventors of electronic gadgets and parts are not at fault for such disconnections. The blame here lies with farmers, who years ago, ceased putting colored glass ball lightning rods on their houses and barns for traveling children to tally. It lies with Burma Shave for giving up on roadside doggerel to keep young ‘uns chanting for miles. And also with highway engineers for cutting down on road bumps called kiss-me-quicks that gave us children a chance to watch the roll of the land. We’d asked our dads to drive a bit faster so the next bump would bring the possibility of getting a bit airborne. Remember those days?
Larry, I absolutely agree, I couldn’t believe when Taner was coming home with me in my car, and he said to me that I was going to have to get a Portable DVD player, because he didn’t know what he was going to do for the next hour………and he was only 4 at the time………he must have thought all cars came equipped……….
some genuinely interesting points you have written.
Man, I absolutely liked reading your blogpost. You have convinced me to subscribe to your blog, but where can I find the RSS feed?
My brother recommended I might like this website. He was totally right. This post truly made my day. You can not imagine simply how much time I had spent for this info! Thanks!
Hi! I definitely love your post! I didn’t find an email page so I hope you don’t mind me reaching you here. Hmmm, I ran by an awesome concept for your interesting site :). I’m an internet marketer (for a while) and I spend a lot of time making and going through blogs like Remember When | GypsyLarry all day. Times are tough and I was only generating a few bucks here and there from google adsense but i found something SO much more rewarding and profitable. I *swear* I made $351.76 $$CASH$$ in the last few hours after optimizing my blogs with a simple little program. Here is where I learned all my tricks: http://sn.im/bankbigonlinechecks Just looking at your site I can tell you’ll probably pull in a few hundred bucks a month if you modify just a little code. I hope that it serves you well and you have all my blessings. Cheers! Kelley Temblador
