I suppose everyone has heard of NDE or near-death experiences. So, suppose Lazarous writes down his experience. I wonder how it would go. Hopefully, God has a sense of humor.
I haven't been on here in awhile, though I do log on to see whats going on. Life sometimes throws you some curves you're not prepared for and it can drain all the water out of your bucket. Now trying to get back in the swing, I rewrote an old story. It seemed to fit the times if you're into 'End of the world scenarios'. The Empty Streets
Lost files. How much thought do we give to backing up our files or other important documents we accumulate in our daily lives. A fire destroyed my computer and the backups that were in the same room. It has been a pain trying to replace some of this stuff. On the sites I am connected to, I am able to recover what I had posted, but there is a lot of stuff that is just lost. Thankfully I have two brothers helping me replace my pictures, though there is going to be a lot of gaps. I am not to savvy with the ‘Cloud’, but in the future I will have off-site backup, even if it’s just a thumb drive in the glove-box of my car.
Just something to keep in the back of your mind.
A lost art, will it be discovered again? I’m talking about cursive writing. This thought was provoked by a letter I needed to write to someone, I doubted was connected to the computerized world we take for granite. I did write my letter and I am waiting for the postman, and wondering how long it will be before I received a reply. It seems we have been digitally programmed to expect an answer within the next thirty minutes, Heaven forbid we have to wait a day or two. I did find cursive writing was still being taught in some schools and others schools were putting it back as a required subject. Needless to say, I doubt anyone would be willing to give up their, spell check, synonyms, and thesaurus and go back to pen and paper or a typewriter. For those who don’t know what cursive writing is, it’s a secret code us old folks use.
