Holgraphic images off your phone in 5 years...I first brought this up 10 years ago....won't need regular computers at that point.

Maybe voice will finally take?..... here is what the experts are saying or lying about .....

True Grit: Jennifer and I saw that last night, snooze you lose Cindi.....
I know it's suppose to be a different and closer take to the book, but I couldn't help sitting there doing a comparison during the whole movie to the original. So to me it was alright. If I wasn't doing a comparison I'm sure I would have really liked it. Hailee Steinfeld was phenomenal as Mattie Ross, Jeff Bridges did a super great job as Cogburn, Barry Peppers totally engulfed character........

…and like last year I didn’t find the time to create a new Christmas card….. so here’s the old one …. Merry Christmas everyone!

Why is it when you rush something, it usually fails? No matter how well you think you know all the variables and are willing to totally throw yourself into it. On the other hand if you skip something or don’t rush it someone else usually benefits greatly from it. Is there no gray area?

Law of the Garbage Truck

One day I hopped in a taxi and we took off for the airport
We were driving in the right lane when suddenly a black car jumped out of a parking space right in front of us.
My taxi driver slammed on his brakes, skidded, and missed the other car by just inches! The driver of the other car whipped his head around and started yelling at us.
My taxi driver just smiled and waved at the guy. And I mean, he was really friendly.
So I asked, 'Why did you just do that? This guy almost ruined your car and sent us to the hospital!'
This is when my taxi driver taught me what I now call, 'The Law of the Garbage Truck.'

He explained that many people are like garbage trucks. They run around full of garbage, full of frustration, full of anger, and full of disappointment.
As their garbage piles up, they need a place to dump it and sometimes they'll dump it on you. Don't take it personally.

Just smile, wave, wish them well, and move on. Don't take their garbage and spread it to other people at work, at home, or on the streets.

The bottom line is that successful people do not let garbage trucks take over their day.
Life's too short to wake up in the morning with regrets,
so ... Love the people who treat you right.
Pray for the ones who don't.

Life is ten percent what you make it and ninety percent how you take it!

Have a garbage-free day!
