Hooked On Power

I have five remote controls by my chair in the living room and I don't even consider myself particularly up up to date technologically.  I have one for the electric fireplace, one for the ac/heater, one for the television, one for the dvd/vcr player, one for the Roku, and in the other room I have a remote for the fan and another television!

For a person who has never sent a text message or taken a photo with my phone I find this amazing.  I do have a very good little digital camera though and both a lap top and regular computer where I take care of most of my business.

I do not have a kindle, but I know they are coming just like I know my next phone will be able to text and get my email.

I suppose the day is near when no one will use paper at all and that is good for the environment, but for those days when electricity goes out I would always like to have paper and something to write on it with as well as a few good books.  Less than five years ago I spent five days without any power at all.  I was able to read a book by candle light to kill time and write thots that I stored up for all those days.   

This morning I am waiting for the local cable company to come work on my Internet, so I need to get this posted before something cuts out again!
