No. Heck no. A good enough day to be feeling a little philosophical I guess. The post about living without a bank got me thinking about a guy and his wife out east of town who gave up electricity decades ago and about a neighbor who had electricity and an old car,but farmed with horses and milked cows by hand up until he died in the mid 70s. He didn't even have a phone. He'd come up here and have us call the vet,or one of his kids if he needed something. For me,it's just easier to keep a few more cows and work a few more acres to feed them as long as I'm doing it anyway,so I have the income to pay for things,than it is to do without them. I don't have a smart phone,a GPS or things of that nature,just because I don't see the advantage for the money,but I don't begrudge the technology for existing. It's just not for me.
Besides,you know this kind of thing always gets a good discussion going Loren. LOL
