All Good! I enjoyed learning and playing as well as attending and listening to all of the Above.
I am amazed by technological devices that make our daily tasks easier. I endeavor to stay current with the devices I need to use. 2.0 is the bomb.
Okay, my favorite thing so far is reading about issues that concern new technologies he environment of this globe we call earth.
Seven & a half is the way to go on & on & on.......

Every little Butt hurts Our EARTH!
Globetrotting w/o leaving Home

Incan stonework in one direction, stepped agricultural terraces in another: Your eyes lock on the mountains surrounding Machu Picchu, and at last you’ve found peace and quiet. Then you’re ready to move on. You click on Antarctica, choose a region, and zoom in. Suddenly you’re standing on an iceberg in the middle of a group of playful Adélie penguins on rocky, volcanic Franklin Island (above right).
The 360° World Atlas DVD lets anyone with a computer become a virtual hitchhiker, no packing or neck-craning required. Creator Everen Brown does all the hard work for you. He jets around the globe, lugging a 40-pound bag full of 600 rolls of film past airport security, and picks a picture-worthy spot. Then he takes one of the world’s last Globuscope rotational cameras (no longer in production), holds it over his head (sometimes he lies on his stomach), and waits (sometimes for hours) for the right shot. When he sees it, snapping the picture takes only a second. The lens rotates full circle, so you get to see what’s across from the Taj Mahal’s minarets too. Once Brown develops the film, he embeds the images into an interactive atlas ($69.95, http://www.360atlas.com/) that shows off head-turning views, panorama style.

Why do cars have ashtrays if their drivers who smoke do not use them?
Okay! I see smokers driving and flicking their ashes out the windows and then when they finish the fags they throw them out the windows also. Why?
Have you ever been behind a smoker who throws a lit cigarette out of the window and it flies back on your windshield? Why are smokers so inconsiderate of others? Why don't they use the ashtray in their cars?
Then there are those who do use their ashtrays and when it gets full they dump it out the window. WHY?
Does nicotine do something to some smokers brains to make them think that they can litter the earth with the wastes of their nasty habits and it has no effect on the environment?

Globetreking
Globetreking should have been my profession.
I love this globe that I live within. I want to see every part of it. Alas, until I can travel its highways and byways, its mountains, valleys and deserts, its rivers and oceans; books, audio and film will have to suffice.

I love this globe that I live within.
I want to see it all.
Books, film & audio will substitute until I can travel endlessly.
