I still buy real books occasionally – just got two used books (Isaac Asimov) and a cookbook. The rest of the time, I buy Kindle. I have LOTS of real books in a small house.

I’m old school and like to feel the book in my hands. E-books are okay for books you can’t find but I will always prefer the real book.
My daughter was having a discussion with a friend who wanted to buy my grandson a kid’s digital book. My daughter told her she wouldn’t let him use it because she wants him to be able to turn the pages of a book and that she doesn’t allow him to play on phones, tablets, etc. because she doesn’t believe it’s good for him. She tried to tell her everyone was doing it and my daughter told her, “like my mom always told us if everyone is jumping off a bridge are you going to do that too?”

Bingo! My eye doc calls them ‘cheaters’ and keeps suggesting I should buy the rediculously expensive prescription ones he sells. I tell him that since he tells me that my problem’s presbyopia with minimal astigmatism that only effects my vision at distance, why but $100 reading glasses to sit on when for that price I can buy a case and sit on a pair a day? Usual answer is ‘ I’m looking at buying a new boat’.

I went to the eye doctor when I first started having trouble reading and he told me it was an age factor and I needed reading glasses. His cheapest were $80 and I asked what the difference was and he confessed not much except these had the correct magnifying strength. So I asked, “but can’t I just get the cheap reading glasses and figure out which strength allows me to see to read?”
He admitted, “yes and that’s what I recommend most do unless they want designer frames.”

I did that for years (bought the cheaters) but my reading vision finally got so bad that I would get really blurry eyed after only a short time (measured by my past reading habits) because I do have an astigmatism and, of course, both eyes aren’t the same.

My prescription’s so weak that I don’t really need my glasses for distance but for that up-close stuff they’re vital. Tried bifocals but that was a definate no-go.

One advantage is that you don’t need the glasses if you can enlarge the page on thectablet. Disadvantage, if you’re reading a technical book, is moving back and forth from the index. Tablets can also adjust the screen brightness and you can set a drink on them without creating a mess.

I’m not with you on this one. I love my Kindle and I also have a mini iPad I use to read colorful things like magazine and cookbooks on. Some books I still buy hard copies, mostly to share favorite authors with my son, but I love taking hundreds of books wherever I go if I have a device, even a phone, and I especially like not storing them.
Too many books that I love I want to keep and I have plastic totes full of hundreds of them stored. Now I let Amazon do the storage. If the book is something I feel I want or must have if we ever have a no power emergency or even a SHTF situation, such as prepped books, things like that, I order a hard copy.
Also, I almost never use the laptop now that I have the iPad. Only if I’m writing a post on the Treehouse or something.

The only place where I hate seeing someone with a kindle or ipad is when it comes to kids, I’ve seen too many toddlers who have been developmentally stunted due to electronic devices.
My grandson’s doctor blames these devices as well for the number of kids now who need glasses. He’s been a pediatrician for over 30 years and says 30 years ago, maybe 2% of kids between 3 and 6 needed glasses, now it’s more like 40% of his patients need glasses and the only thing that has changed is these kids come in looking at computer screens whether on phones, I-pads, etc.

I never really gave it that much thought until I started going to the doctor with my daughter when she was pregnant and started paying attention to all these toddler to preschool age kids.
It was pretty clear to see how so many had missed milestones in their development.
Then I started researching it and finding many doctors who were warning of the dangers.
Once kids are older I think they are fine within reason but I’m also very glad that we passed on our love of books to our kids and happy to see my daughter doing the same with her son.
I do believe though the reason she is such anti-electronic when it comes to him is because she saw all those same kids and told me more than once that would not be her son.
He does grab phones from time to time and he learned by himself to swipe them and unlock them and he likes to get his daddy’s phone and talk to Siri, but they never let him have it more than a minute or two.

I was a reading junkie from a young age. I was the reading nerd, really. One of my favorite things to do was going to the big, old historical building which housed the main library in Savannah. The smell of the books when I walked in was something I just loved. In the summer especially, I’d go and load up on books every week, and read, read, read. If I still had every book I’ve ever bought, there’s no way I could have a house big enough to store them all. I’ve had to purge over the years, because it ended up with renting storage units that were mostly full of cartons of books. I’ve also had homes where every room had bookshelves loaded with books. I still have tons of books packed into cartons. When it comes time to unpack them, I’m already preparing that I won’t be able to keep them all.
I use my iPad for Kindle reading every night. It’s the last thing I do as part of my going-to-sleep routine. I don’t have to have lights on to disturb my husband, and I’m used to it now. When I was reading books at night and using one of those book lights, I was constantly having to mess with the light. It was an adjustment, and I still like holding a book in my hands, but for me Kindle is a real convenience.

For decades I carried a copy of the basic Army Combat Engineer bible in my fatigue/BDU pants pocket whenever I was in the field. In days of yore the working field manuals were ‘ruggedized’ and sized to fit into a cargo pocket, available when you needed them. As I came closer to official obsolescence the new troops were carrying electronic tablets with the information on them. Now fewer and fewer troops are using paper and there are fewer of us geezers who aren’t with the times.
I used to wonder what they’d do when their batteries ran out or there wasn’t a charging port available but then there was always the question of what would happen if I ran out of ink. Let ’em have their e-libraries, I still like my paper and I’d like to see ’em whack a bug with a Kindle.

Weather-wise, another hot, dry week. I think we will have thunderstorms later in the week, but not much rain (which we could use). Some of the large street trees here have been cut down, so my front yard is not getting as much afternoon shade as it once did, and the grass is more or less dormant (I don’t water). The grass in my back yard is lush and green (as it usually is); I don’t know why, although there is a bit more shade back there. It’s so nice to see the fireflies!

Shine to the leaves of grass, catalpa and oak,
All silver under your rain tonight.
An Italian boy is sending songs to you tonight from an accordion.
A Polish boy is out with his best girl; they marry next month;
tonight they are throwing you kisses.
An old man next door is dreaming over a sheen that sits in a
cherry tree in his back yard.

white thoughts you rain down.

Unstated in the broadcast, I had to look it up, was that this was an event for teens up to 17, the club said, and attendees as young as twelve were there. The attendees were black and the shooting occurred after midnight. Now tell me why parents are letting their kids as young as 12 out at a night club, after midnight, mixed with older teens? What could possibly go wrong? How late were these responsible parents going to allow their 12 to 16 year olds to stay out? Guess then can be sleeping in on Monday, give ’em a start for adult life.
Is it a culchul thang? We just don’t understand the modern AA subculture that needs to enculturate the next generation in the club scene so that their transition to adult life is smoothed? Maybe, like that book versus Kindle thing, we’re just too old and we should let the new wave wash clean our old fogeyness.

I don’t know if this party has any connection to this mess, but I have to wonder. Remember the “dime girls” and “make it clap parties”? And, we wonder why there are so many young female blacks getting pregnant.

Justbtalking yo an old cop friens who’s still on the job. He said that this isn’t unusual, years before Katrina they’s stake out the night clubs in New Orleans offering teeny-bopper nites ( as in ’till dawn’). The thugs attending couldn’t take guns in as the bouncers wanded, they’d leave them in/around their cars where they could be easily grabbed. Aside from being pissed over the clubs holding chicken hawk nites and parents hoing along wit it, they’d grab the thugs, guns and cars. Never was a shooting at these pedophilia bazaars, district commander’s proactive initiatives prevented that.
You might remember I’d mentioned earlier how this commander’s work on cleaning up around hi-crime points in his district brought the crime rate down but caused, among others, a number of black ‘ministers’ to complain his works were targeting young black men? This was one or the targetings that raised their ire. Makes you wonder who was putting what in their collection plates.

I’ll never understand this sort of horrible parenting.
I took an elderly lady a few years back to a city council meeting and laughed at an elderly gentleman who stood up to speak about a curfew ordinance. “When my children were young we didn’t need the city to set curfews, that was the parents job. Under a certain age, you better be home when the porch light comes on, over a certain age they were told nothing good ever happens after midnight.”
A younger woman stands up and says, “well that was in a different time, today parents need to be able to tell our children there is a curfew.”
The man, “I guess maybe you’re right, parents today aren’t smart enough to set curfews they need government to set them.”

Some years before Katrina we had a helluva problem with school-aged kids being out walking the streets well after midnight. We had an equal problem with kid-related crime. The city created a curfew and we all enforced it. If we found a kid out on the street after 10 PM and s/he couldn’t prove to be over 17 the perpette was hauled off to a detention center where s/he’d be detained until the parent(s) picked it up. Program died a quiet death when parents just left many of them there and city ended up feeding and housing them until they were just let loose again. Easier to just let things take their natural course than admit the parents were less than civilized and were raising what was then today’s current crop of criminals.

No twelve year old of mine is going near a club scene, underage or not. Heck, my boys were outraged at me that I refused to let them go hang out at malls all day with their friends when they were that age.
Even then, back in the late 80’s and early 90’s I found that most parents did not want to bother supervising, let alone caring for their kids. I imagine it’s much worse now, and it seems a too high percentage of black parents do not truly raise their kids, just let them grow up.

He is said to have pledged his allegience to ISIS though German authorities are supposed to be leaning towards his being an angry music aficionado upset at not being able to get into the music fest. As for the ISIS thing he was just pledging his troth to the Boston post-metal band of the same name. MACH WEITER! Or something like that.
