~cattleman cafe~ & another 24...

[abcowboy]

Things were definitely simpler when we were growing up, most kids didn't even have a wristwatch till they were in their teens, now the kids don't even wear them as they check the time on their cell phone lol. But I'm glad for the technology we have today otherwise I would have never met y'all!

I am not looking forward to the time change. Messes me up and I dont like the darker evenings..

Ya this is what I hate about it as well. Just at the time when it starts to feel like it's getting dark early, you suddenly lose another hour of daylight, it feels like bam, winter is here with a bang. I do try to resist it by just doing everything a bit earlier but eventually with everything being on the new time it gets the better of me.

Rava, I agree with you about how life used to be much simpler. I'm always grateful that I grew up in a time when life was less complicated. I feel bad for kids today, as they don't seem to have the freedom that I had as a child.

I visited my friend and his two kids today and you couldn't tell at all, neither have phones (though they're probably too young at 4 and 6) and they played outside in the park as any child would. It'll probably get to them eventually as they get older, but I think the key as a parent is to not over-expose them too early and keep them engaged in doing other (non digital) activities.

Rava, do you guys wear masks on planes? My sister always does regardless of covid. So far she's stayed well!

I still wear masks in most public settings (bus, grocery store etc.). Such a simple thing today and can really aid in preventing catching something (which for me can sometimes last weeks or months). So few people do anymore, I guess everyone just likes getting sick.

I hope everyone has an easy day! I'll take another day of freedom

Good morning Cafe and Happy Monday. Mr R and I did not wear masks on the plane but looking back now we should have.. When we fly back for Christmas we will be wearing them. Not taking any chances next time. Hope everyone has a great day. 24 more please and thank you!

[Jude58]

Good idea wearing a mask on the plane Rava, especially with Covid being so prevalent these days.

Ginger, are you in Arizona yet?

Not much happening here, but I know that this will be a sober day. 24 more please...

[Rava]

Good morning Cafe. I can’t wait for this day to be over. Election stress is real. 24 more please and thank you.

It's going to be an interesting election for sure with it being such a close race, probably won't know the final result for a day or two and then see what happens.

[dill]

I hope it's over and done with today, but given the recent history of things, I don't think we will be so lucky. Praying for cool heads and peaceful hearts.
24 more for all of us here, please and thank you.

We got to our destination at 130p yesterday. I'm over that drive! I'm ready to switch to flying, if we continue coming down. Here's to getting past this election!

I'll take another day of freedom

[Jude58]

Good morning cafe! I'm so glad that the election will be over soon. So much tension in this country right now, but hopefully when the voting is done things will calm down. Outside of that, I will be so glad when the political ads become a thing of the past, so sick of them.

Ginger, glad that you made it to your destination unscathed. It sounds like you will need a few days to decompress.

24 more for all of us please...

[Rava]

Good morning Cafe. Ginger, so glad you are home safely. I am only one trip ahead of you switching to flying. Driving is awful. I get it. Hoping today becomes better for those that are upset with the new president. This will be an interesting day for sure. Probably one that I will stay away from social media. I have never in my life seen such hatred. Hope everyone has a great and sober day! Not drinking over any of this.
