Ha ha. Hope I'm not boring you. Here's an exciting tale. My drawing pad just had a close call in the washroom at A&W. The store's faucets are equipped with electronic eyes to dispense water whenever they detect hands - or any other object. I wasn't thinking ahead to that possibility when I dumped my tablet in there, in the mad rush to lower my fly. I heard tap water come gushing out, but it was drowned by my own gushing, and I didn't realize what had happened until I turned my gaze in that direction. By that time, a miniature Niagara Falls had done its worst against a doubled plastic grocery bag. I tried not to curse too loudly as I picked it up and wiped it dry against my shirt. Outside, under a canopy to protect me from the rain, I untied the bags and checked for damage. I'm pleased to report that it was contained to the outer edges of the first ten pages or so. Experiences like this lead me to question technology's ability to make life easier. I'm not sure it's possible. The less physical work you have, the more time you have for inescapable mental anguish. Some people appear to live their lives automatically. Machines handle all the burdens, all day long. Who am I to pass judgement? I hate burdens as much as the next guy. I just think that we were meant to struggle, and that if you remove difficulties in one area, they often seem to resurface somewhere else. |
