    He was an accomplished buckaroo in Southern Idaho, Northern Nevada, and Utah as I recall. He has had to deal with diabetes as well. Honestly I wasn't sure if he was still with us or not.

    We have SIS and ET at work, not sure what version or what they’re capable of.

    ET is subscription based so I would imagine it includes the dealer level of SIS. That would be nice, but beyond what my little company can take advantage of.

    I’ve messed with it when they’ve been hooked to my truck but I don’t know much about it.

    Did you catch this video I posted?

    My GPS crapped out on me. I use a Garmin Nuvi 680 that I bought back in 2003. It was strange, but I got the road atlas, pen and paper and made notes the old fashion way. You adjust and keep going. The thing that I don’t ever want to do is be dependent on technology. I use it, it doesn’t use me.

    When eating lunch, no phone calls. If I am with another person, no phone. It is rude. Plus I’ve found that I prefer to watch the people in the restaurant.

    He’s in his mid 80s. He was an old looking young man when he did Cocoon.

    I’m an atlas guy, I like laying it out and looking at it. I make notes and go from there. I had a gps at one time, I liked it because I could find lodging easier in the city where we were headed. No smart phone then and I was in a daycab.

    It’s a tragically sad video, I saw it a few weeks back.

    I think for folks with some connectivity left in their lives are already aware of the problem - the dumb masses are unaware of the issue.

    One of my all time favorite songs too.
