THE WEDNESDAY RANT 5.22.19

Distracted: "Unable to concentrate because one's mind is preoccupied." According to the latest stats, over 600,000 people are driving around right now, in three tons of metal, while distracted, which is in and of itself...distracting. Now comes word that there is an uptick in..."distracted walking" as cell phone zombies are so locked into their ELS (electronic life support) aka "Smart" phones that a senator from New York is proposing a ban to keep them safe. Really? Yea...really. Toss in my college alma mater asking for my "success story," a conversation with a friend about someone we both know personally running for president, the incredible power of synchronicity, a new "True or False" segment about something Joe Biden said forty-five years ago, and another episode of "Earth Matters with Bill Kurtis" and you have another serious attempt to make sense of the senseless. Hold on to your lug nuts, its time for an overhaul.
