technology, eh?

The other day I noticed that this blog is covered in really obnoxious advertisements. It is not an attempt to make money from the two people that read this blog. I really don't know how they got here, and I don't know how to turn them off.

I feel like this old man I saw at the grocery store yesterday. He was having problems with the credit card swiper machine, where you have to push the buttons yourself. He looked over at me and said "Technology, eh? When I retired I thought I'd never have to use a computer."

I smiled and politely agreed with him, meanwhile thinking about what a stupid old man he is.

Then I promptly handed my credit card to the cashier, and she told me I had to use the machine. We are not so different, old man.

A grocery store cashier's day is a never ending stream of people who don't know how to pay for their groceries.
