Mack was always fingering his
fonethumbing itfondling it like a
rabbits foot a dismembered good luck charm
What
is that irritated him to no end Dont leave home without it
Like
an American Express card huhMack
Mack was distracted up to something
What?
looks up doe-eyes
I didn’t catch that, what?
No yadidnt
I’m busy.
We met to have coffee a kibitz
Cant keep your nose out of it Turn the damn thing off
No
I like being accessible; that you don’t is
your business.
It didnt make a sound No one reached out to you
No, but something occurred to me,
I want to be accurate; around you if I’m wrong you hang me out to dry.
Ya afraid of making a mistake
When I do you you’re all over me.
I knock you in good fun Theres always the possibility I also don
know an Im the first to say
If its worthwhile well learn it from
home doesnt have to be in the moment
Why should we wait? I have the
information at my fingertips.
We werent discussing anything
when your Siren beckoned
No no, but if I know for a fact we
don’t have to go back and forth.
Id make you state your source
You would, you don’t trust anyone,
take them at their word.
Your source
I like using Wikipedia.
Why
Why wouldn’t you?
I wouldnt I prefer learned sources Thats the point of the internet Im not a fan of crowdsourcing
Wikipedia is that It is comprised of citationscorrect
Yes, I suppose you might construe
it as crowdsourcing, but what’s not to like about that? Ask one hundred people,
they can probably provide you the answer you seek, certainly more informed than asking a
few.
Gotta disagree Seems today people dont want to determine
things for themselvesnot expedient A
slippery slope
I
now ask when someone asks me something Do you intend to ask others If they say yes I say Well ask them please
I aint saying
Why wouldn’t you say?
I don participate in opinion polls
Its a dilution I don dilute things I ingest I prefer them
straight If I want an opinion I ask
someone I trust It goes no furthur
Well, to each his own.
I agree
Can you put away the fone talk to
me like people did before the asinine things were created We were better off before them
Anif you think Im being nostalgic its the
second reflective not the first restorative
Damn, knew I was gonna ask?
Yup
Reflective is?
Allows us to accept and enjoy our
memories for exactly what they were
And restorative, inspires us to
go back, try to change, recreate our past.
Yup
OH one last thing regarding Wikipedia I understand it posts citation needed lackscitation lactation had to get that off my chest
