<\/div>\n
I PHONES can be dangerous.  In this case Kevin (eldest son) is totally unaware<\/div>\n
that the wild grape vines he is about to harvest contains a dangerous<\/div>\n
predator ready to scare the bejabbers out of him.  I phones are dangerous<\/div>\n
because they distract.   In the long term\u2026i.e. a thousand years of iPhone<\/div>\n
there may be a mutation in our necks whereby we can only look down.<\/div>\n
Think about that.  What will we fail to see?  Will that mutation spell the<\/div>\n
end of human kind because we cannot see what is coming at us?  Will we<\/div>\n
fail to see the sunrise\u2026.the sunset\u2026the sky?  Silly, I know that.<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
QUOTE OF THE WEEK<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
Last week our grandson Jack took the first step in basic training<\/div>\n
for the Canadian army.  Adulthood.  Leaving the nest. We do not know where that will lead him and <\/div>\n
miss him dearly.    It seems he feels the same because he wrote to<\/div>\n
his sister Molly a very endearing letter which included this sentence.<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
\u201cMolly, will you show Norman my picture often, I don\u2019t want him to forget me.\u201d<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
Who is Norman?  Norman is their family dog.  Will Norman remember Jack<\/div>\n
when he sees Jack\u2019s picture on an iPhone?   Not sure of the answer.<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
Marjorie assures me the Norman will remember Jack forever. \u201cThere is no way<\/div>\n
to get rid of a scent.”<\/div>\n
