Hyper Modern Realism

Six thirty in the morning at the Hyatt Regency in San Francisco. The coffee was waiting along with six monitors showing six different news shows. Political news, sports news, weather, financial news, even a story about a person missing after the recent floods in some town I've never heard of in the midwest. How can our minds even assimilate this much information? I mourn the loss of simplicity from my grandparent's generation.

 

In 1955 my grandparents purchased their 1st television set. I was 4-years old. It blew my little mind. I thought that we were watching people on another planet living out their lives. Now we practically are.

 

I was relieved to get home to our small town where the local news (Yubanet.com) recently reported this hot flash:

 

"April 11, 2019 at 9:42 AM A large pig is wandering in the roadway between Coyote Street and Lake Vera on North Bloomfield. Use caution in the area and check your pig pens."
