Will I embrace the changes coming along (honestly, probably not, or at least will struggle with it). Heck, my teen son knows more about my "smart" phone than I do and he doesn't even have one. As for Congress, it looks and feels like they are trying to do the right thing, but we are sometimes getting lost in the mix. Big decision are contemplated without realizing the trickle down effect for everyone, and that's where I think we and the AMA need to speak up. I don't think we'll see anything that will significantly change the face of this hobby as we know it.
I agree with it all. Except I hope I am more fluid in my elder years to changing technology. lol. What the hell are skinny jeans and why are guys wearing them?????? ha ha!! Bag phones were the cool thing for the "rich" people when I was a senior in high school.
Teen son, dang! I'm one of those "old" dads. I'm 41 and have an 8 year old boy and a just about 5 year old girl. Just this morning my boy sat back in his chair and flopped his legs, bare feet and all right on the kitchen table while everyone was eating. I have no idea what prompted this behavior. He looked at me and smiled like "whatcha gonna do about it"!!!!!! Man!! What the hell? He was lucky mom was right there to save him! lol. I am kinda old school when it comes to crap like that. Anyway, I think that was off topic enough. lol.
