I guess its time the term "just when you thought you have seen it all" needs to go the way of the dinosaurs. We were at Lowes looking for something I don't remember what when we came across a refrigerator that took both Robin and I by surprise. There was a TV located in the door, not just any TV but actually a monitor that was capable of preforming several different tasks such as grocery lists, message center, and a host of other things including a doddle pad for the kids. But wait theres more you can pop the screen out of the frig. and watch your favorite program at the table while you eat, carry it to the bathroom never again missing a single moment of that beloved brain washing programing that we all have come to love and need.

How I have managed to live as long as I have without all these techno wonders is beyond me, its not that I hate any of them but at $3599.00 just to get a portable TV defies my ability to reason it out. For more than 10 years I had to walk around with a cell phone that denied me my privacy and I am now free of its grip on me much to the consternation of family members. I like time to read and let my imagination run wild but yet again more and more of this is denied me because of the need that some seem to think needs to be spent viewing or experiencing some new technical marvel. My only problem with this is I see to many that are no longer able to think for themselves but follow the herd mentality.

So with that in mind "Give me liberty or give me death!" is how all this new age stuff is beginning to make me feel, or maybe I really am getting old.
