I still don't even own a cell phone. They don't work where I live any way. [&o] Yet he can do all of that over seas. And I am glad you could join us.

Technology is an amazing thing. I remember when I was little, talking to my Grandmother. She told me stories of hitching the buggy up to an old white horse named Ben, so she could go to town and do her shopping and sell her butter and eggs. She told me of their first battery operated radio they had. They had to stretch a copper wire from the house to the barn for an antenna. I was with her when they landed on the moon. And she was terrified. She kept saying they better not step on that thing. They got no business on the moon. And she refused to watch it on the little black and white TV we had. She refused to fly in a plane to come and visit me (we had no business up there, and something that heavy just is not safe up there), so I drove all the way back to Northern Minnesota and drove her home, so she could visit.

Now we have children that never saw a record. Never saw a record player. All things advance. Electronics, autos, even muzzleloaders. Technology is in deed an amazing thing.
