Hey, everyone, Jonathan Saar, My Takes. Here in Hamilton, Ontario, Chidoke Rail Trail, I think it's called. I don't know if I'm pronouncing it right or not, but beautiful spring day. And observation, My Take, the pain of disconnecting.
Just watched a few people, and I had to do it, too. It's like they're on their devices, and, you know, maybe there's an emergency or something. I have no idea. But, you know, riding along and just kind of observing in general, it's, there's a pain with disconnecting. And it's a, it's a, in my opinion, it's a disease.
It's unfortunate that we are so tied to devices. Find a way to disconnect. I'm trying to figure out if I can have like a back channel with my wife. That's it, one-on-one. You got something you need me to do. That's it, the only thing that shows up on my device when I'm out doing things like this, because it's crucial.
Disconnect, Jonathan Saar, My Takes.
