There is a metaphor mixed into this convoluted post! If you have a half hour of time to waste, read every word of this mind-twisting article on the new "everyone must have" Apple Watch (whatever that is)!

The mysterious little "secret socket" - in my opinion - has F451/1984 implications which let Them somehow know more than is needed . . .

If you even spent a few minutes scanning this far-too-long explanation of techno-gibberish, I would like to let you know that the second hand on my Dad's old watch is gently ticking off the seconds to another minute in another hour. Where I sit it is 9:55am EDT. I am on my way to the garden to prepare some soil for spring plantings. The Dandelions are just arriving! Thanks, Mr. Bradbury!

Don't know about the watch, but just so you know all smart phones have an ability to keep track of everywhere you go and all you do there (as long as the phone is with you) so if you plan on committing crimes you need to either disable this or leave the phone home!

Received this today from friends in upper Mich. peninsula:
"..... interestingly, we went to a movie in Manistee, just north of us a bit ago, and the theater was totally reconstructed from the ground up by a group of volunteers. Donors to the project could get their names on plates on seats in the theater. When the movie was over, we saw that a seat in front of us had a plate on it in memory of Ray Bradbury. I know of no regional connection to him, but it just was a shock and immediately made us think of you, also:
"In Memory of Ray Bradbury, With Thanks"
