Top of the evening everyone...
Several years back, we visited the Diefen-bunker outside of Ottawa. It is a bunker designed for senior government officials to hide in the event of a nuclear attack. Here, they would be able to run the country in some element of safety.
In the Diefen-bunker, there were telephones. These were the old-style phones, with one line, and a dial. This is the source of the idea of dialing a telephone. The kids, much younger then, did not know what it was. I have not dialed a phone in years. Yet, on my cordless phone, the option exists to redial a number. Clearly, the concept of dialing a phone could not go away.
The next generation will not fully understand what it means to sound like a broken record.
Another change...I came home last week for lunch. I drank my lunch. In days of old, that would have meant lunch at a bar with coworkers. I would have meant martinis or scotch. I had a smoothie. It had protein and fruit in it.
Over the last couple of years, I have been changing the light bulbs in the house. Incandescant bulbs are no longer available for sale in Ontario. We have had CFLs. Now, we are changing them over to LEDs. The LED bulbs will last for years. What will happen to light bulb jokes?
Above, you see the things that occupy my mind when Jennifer is in New Jersey.
Have a good evening.
