What’s the world coming to…

Instant light charcoal?
Easy opening pill bottles?
Clap hands light fixtures?
Talking elevators? Singing waiters?
Simple to use TV remotes.

Now I’ve got this car that will not mind, it has a mind of it’s own and it mis-behaves, a small computer malfunction? I tell it to go home at 9:30 pm and many a time it turns a deaf ear. That’s my car let alone the two females that live in my house and also have deaf ears. Either they are a lot smarter than I think or they are Irish. But who ever heard of an Irish Springer?

Then there are these college grads who spend years learning how to do things better, they are given a degree as a design engineer and are spent into the world not knowing how to tie their shoe laces. Case in point, two cycle 16 oz. oil cans. I should say bottles for they are formed out of plastic.

Years back all the cans had markings on the side letting you know how much oil you have in the can or how much oil you have poured into you gas tank, a simple idea that was forgotten. But my biggest peeve is the easy to open kid proof asprin bottles at which you take a hammer to open. Now they've changed the design on my chewing gum wrapper, you open it up and the sticks go flying. I am telling you this simple live isn't simple anymore.

And smores kits? I remember the day when you bought the graham crackers, the chocolate and the marshmallows separately before cooking some up over the front left stovetop burner...

Believe it or not, you have stumbled onto what could be a hugely successful marketing campaign. I can see it now: Aspirin packaging which includes the hammer. Maybe you should give Arm and Hammer a call. I'm sure they'll love the new product concept!

Thank goodness your car doesn't go home at 9:30. You wouldn't be in it. Imagine, your car careening down the road driverless causing who knows what mayhem. Maybe it is brighter than you believe (or is it Halogen lights?).

Also, they put children's aspirin in child proof packaging, the adult aspirin is clearly in adult proof packaging. Perhaps a neighborhood child could help out. Or, you could get the children's aspirin and take four instead of two.

Just think how simple life could be. No oil, no aspirin, no gum and smores only on the west coast. Only thing complicating life would be -- "Bud put that sun block on, gosh darn it."

Here's another one, digital alarm clocks, set it for 7 am and forget, then the thing goes off at 4am, or book markers that some how find there way to a different page that you'd left off on.

I am waiting for talking computers, then I'll have some one of my intellegence level to talk too. 4th grade level.

Oh, you are being way too harsh on yourself.

Try 5th grade level?
