    And remember, Eddie votes, and is a demographic actively courted by both parties.

    For cartoon characters, the grid is graph paper.

    I’m quite fond of the electric grid. And I’d love to be part of the “fast internet” grid. But I’m strongly opposed to not only HAVING spies in my home but PAYING their vendors to place them there.

    If you never had it, you don’t miss it. Fortunately, people adapt. Once it’s gone, you learn how to get by without. At least enough do.

    A cat, a pipe (that’s always lit) and a drink – Eddie’s happy. Oh, and a boat. Who wouldn’t be?

    Reminds me, in 10 minutes I have to check the charge on the battery for my phone. I do it twice a day. My app tells me, I’m up to 12 or 15 minutes a week!!

    Don’t give in, stop buying expensive gadgets just because everybody else does….think about it! Just think how much more money you would have?

    Points to ponder

    I spent 38 years on the bleeding edge of technology. It got old having to learn a new field every 2-3 years. Now, unless I really need tech, I do without.

    What we have lost is the ability to entertain ourselves out of what we have within ourselves and the ability to endure boredom patiently.

    A family group was recently discovered who had died over the winter trying to live “off the grid”. My family spent generations trying to get “on the grid”. These days we are all interdependent. We have to make the grid more efficient and planet-friendly.

    There was a National Lampoon parody song about a commune that wintered in the Rockies and “ran out of things to smoke and eat and say”.

    Your smart phone is a tool, just like a hammer. You don’t carry your hammer around with you all day do you? When you are done with your job, put your tools away.

    First, get a boat.

    Second, start visiting other worlds with it.

    btw… James Burke did a TV series in 1978 that explained the Technology Trap we live in. (it’s only gotten “trappier”)

    Why even ask Eddie, the fossil fuel burning sailor, about living off the grid?

    While we are on the subject, here’s my question.

    Premise: The average person makes many major purchases, such as a home, a car, a tv, a major appliance, shop tools, vacation home, etc.

    ?? _How is it that none of the sellers can later notify him/her that they must give up those things because there are new models and the mfgs will no longer support the original purchases?_

    And yet, cell phone and software publishers are allowed to do that at will, resulting in massive discards of perfectly useful digital items, supposedly ‘outdated’ media, with great inconvenience and costs to users.

    In case, you’re wondering, I’m agin’ it, and would like to see some regulation to prohibit that activity. Would also – with no hope of it ever happening – like to see those companies return unused fees and unit costs to those forced to make the changes.

    H-m-m-m-m as I reread this I’m picturing a snowball in a environmental hot spot with no chance of survival.

    I’ve retired and I no longer work on any committees, public or private. I am very happy not knowing all those extra details. Yes, ignorance is bliss.

    You’re off the grid when you spend two thirds of your life lost at sea—-whether you’re on water OR land.
