TOO MUCH

There is just too much out there to learn.  My routine has been to watch some news on tv and read the newspaper every morning.  Now there are so many other sources and so much new to try to keep up with that even you young, savy grand kids can't keep up with it all. So there is absolutely no hope for this old guy to digest all that is out there.  There are so many things in this new world that you live in for me to gt used to.  I know that a lot of them are good, even wonderful.  I just can't keep up with all of them.  One good thing is that I have watched the BYU ball game from Wednesday night at least 3 times now since it has been replayed over and over.  And I took a moment to think about how my work is so different now then it has been decades past.  Now I can just sit at my computer and bring up maps to print to attach to the papers that I give out to be served.  I can usually find a picture of the house to make it easier to find, and on occasion I have even come up with pictures of the people that we are trying to serve.  Business information is so easy to access and I find DMV information all the time.  It makes it so much easier for my guys to go to a door with license plate numbers and names.  It is harder for people to lie to us because we know that their car is sitting in the driveway and that we have found the right people.  I have had some call and complain that we served a paper improperly and they refused to give me there name while claiming that they don't know the person, and I look at my caller ID and see that they are THE person.  And of course you kids have no idea what life was like before cell phones.  It really makes a difference in the way that I am able to do my job.  But all that being said, I feel like there is so much more I could do if I understood it all better.  But, I also have memories of my first feeble efforts on our first computer. Do your remember that big out box of a computer that I had in the office to connect to the county? I must admit that I have come a long way.  I just wonder how much futher I can go.  They are just inventing things way too fast for me.  But old dogs can learn new tricks and I will keep at it even if it is in very small steps.
