Go on Youtube and you can watch/do anything you can think of.
Facebook, Insta-gram et. al have removed the uncomfortable face to face meet.
Bug bites,ticks, mud, bad weather body odor,and sticker bushes are only for the real do'ers. Socializing is an electronic sport these days.
Boy I must be getting old Better that then dead.
Wilson you as I know that these are the real facts...

watching someone on you tube drink a beer or catch a fish will never replace the actual event. The hands on experience is just not there. Living a virtual existence, glued to the cell phone for your every thought, expression, and idea is where the next comment comes from is insane, but true for so many. I have taught my kids the value of experiencing the real event, recognizing it's significance, and living the moment. Instilling these values is essential. We may be in a minority now, but my kids know the real deal...Just saying as they experience it every weekend with Me.
