Things are in the Saddle

 

Things are in the saddle,
And ride mankind.

- Ralph Waldo Emerson

Caller ID

Technology is ruining everything. In particular, it’s gotten rid of the unexpected call from out of the blue.

My God, the total exciting transformation of the call from out of the blue. There is so little magic in adult life. This was one of the few true magical things that could happen to you. But now with caller ID and e-mails and texts, you know exactly who is trying to contact you and what he or she wants.
