Easy 8 miles at noon.- Bored of the usual route so I went down into Old Midvale area and around taking the scenic route. One of those meditative runs I guess. You know I was thinking about some things that have happened in the media lately and in life. Has anyone but me noticed a lack of intolerance really growing at an exponential rate lately? Any more I see a trend consisting of people incapable or just plain unwilling to get along with their fellow man/woman whatever and especially in the common everyday public arena. Example; Just the other day I saw someone literally screaming at the top of their lungs just because the poor fellow in front of them was having car problems and could not turn in time at a green light. Jeez! Is it the stress of the poor economy? Or maybe do you blame the rise of social networking via the internet and it's impersonal influence.. I hear people all the time say how they reached out to so and so on Facebook and how I should get on it also... Really? Your telling me that you "reached out" to someone on a computer website? Wow, maybe I'm getting old and out of touch but the last time I "reached out to someone" was when I went to their house and visited them or we went out somewhere and had real face to face interaction. So much for texting.. By the way I refuse to text anyone or even receive a text for that matter. Just ask my daughter. LOL! I know, These new formats I understand have some advantages but maybe it has just been taken too far I believe. I don't know.. Out. Yes, I know I'm bored today but I wanted to practice my writing skills and pass some time this afternoon. Anyway, it's time to get back to washing dishes. Oh joy.. PM-Easy 4 miles. 7th out and back.
