DIRECTION

I gotta tell you.  I'm okay with humans still driving their vehicles.  Ohio's toll road may see self-driving cars next year.  "Not necessarily driverless...but with someone in the driver's seat whose role is to primarily make sure the vehicle's guidance system" is on task.  Testing begins in months.  I'm reading about a thousand details that need yet perfecting.  (If there is such a thing as perfecting those thousand details.)   Call me, Not On Board.     news

ALL A TWITTER

I can tell you this:  On Twitter Katy Perry is number one.  But on Instagram Selena Gomez is king.   Taylor Swift you ask?  No. 3 on Twitter, with only 72.8 million followers.  What's a girl to do?   President Obama Tweets behind her at No. 4 in followers, and ... Well I could go on.   Just know that yes, Bieber and Rihanna, are heavy in the mix also.  Me, I'm in a race for 1,628,999 place on Instagram.  I'm keepin' it real.  

Principle in the type:  "We're spread.  We have so many more opportunities to connect with people, and yet --  to connect deeply and vertically and all the layers of things that take time and focus and shutting off everything, --the tv [your texting, your typing] .... there's so much competition for eyeballs --but really, there's so much competition for your soul.  Where do you connect?  Where do you put your feeling, and your love, and your need and your yearning and all that?   It isn't satisfied--no matter how far you go--in that wide network. ... you have to go deep for it."         Meryl Streep
