CIRCLE WITH A DOT

So why are so many people of my generation (late stage #boomers) oblivious of mobile device courtesy?

I'm sitting in the waiting area of the tire shop. An old guy (like me), sits down pulls out his iPad and starts a television program for all to hear.

His phone rings. He takes the call on speaker phone and raises his voice to be heard over his television program. Annoyed with his own noise, he seeks a quieter location, walking away from his iPad without pausing it.

His wife is doing fine and will be ready for pick up in forty minutes. Their daughter is still mad at her husband.

Thirty years ago, I planted twenty white crocus in this section of lawn in front of my yurt. After ten years, they had faded away.

Walking by the location of my original yurt today, I spotted this.

A point of optimism in an era starved for it.

An earlier me reached out to the current me with a message.
