    Default what's really important in life

    Many things we do alone, read a book, swing a baseball bat, drive a car, post online. But when were with our friends and loved ones, it's best to be with our friends and loved ones. Technology is great, but don't forget what's really important in life, cheers all.

    Darn - I thought you were going to post something dramatic like the virtues of cyber hiking on WB!

    Youtube is important.

    It taught me how to Cook stir-fry chicken, play the harmonica, and also to remove/clean the carburetor on my motor scooter.

    Plus, it has some really cute videos of cats.

    Strife and I were walking around town last week when we passed a car parked in a dark, wooded corner behind the Burger King. Given it's relative isolation and the appearance that the occupants were a teenage couple, I thought "uh oh, making out" and turned my gaze away to afford them what privacy I could (and to spare myself the visual). Since the path we were on however led us about 3 ft from the car, of course I got a glimpse of the passengers: a pair of teenagers, boy and girl, side by side in the front seat, each with heads down reading their phones.

    Good Lord, what have we become when hormone-riddled kids no longer know what to do when alone in a car in an isolated spot?

    Too funny ^^ !!
    I was on a cleanup hike a couple of months ago in Ramapo SF. We stopped about 1/2 way through at a pond to have some lunch. It was a beautiful day ... not a cloud in the sky about 70 degrees and you could see the fish jumping in the water. Three young kids hiked up and sat down in front of us at the waters edge. I happened to glance down at them and all three of them had their heads down tapping away on their phones. It was funny but kind of sad.

    That would be TOO sad, RS. They're meant to learn by fumbling around like we had to!
