Gadgets

I made a shocking discovery the other day…I love gadgets. I know, I know, it's hard to believe, but it's true! I was sitting in my truck looking at the rear-view mirror, and I noticed it had 5 buttons on it. One looked like a power button, one was for the compass, and three of them had a symbol that looks like a house on them. It has two green lights, which I assume are some sort of power indicators. It also has the compass reading built into the mirror so that you always know which direction you are going. I pridefully observed that it is one fancy rear-view mirror. Now, the sad part of that is that I will probably never know what all of the buttons on my rear-view mirror actually do, but I am content just having the buttons. As long as the green light blinks once in a while and I can read what direction I am heading, I will be content.

I also have to admit that as I type this, I am getting a little concerned that my rear-view mirror does not display the outside temperature. Some trucks have external temperature AND the direction displayed on the mirror. Unfortunately, I think Vicki might balk at the idea of trading in this truck for one that has temperature and compass in the mirror. She has a very nasty habit of asking really dumb questions, like: “What are you going to do with that?”, or “Do you really need that?”. She doesn’t seem to get that you don’t buy stuff like a blender with a built in iPod because you need it…you buy it because it’s cool!

Hey, I just made up that iBlender idea, but my mind is racing now…iToaster, iWeedwacker, iToilet…the possibilities are endless…
