Apparently reader 'antbus' has grown impatient with my lacksidaisical posting habits, and who can blame him? So, rather than indulge in a third doughnut while I wait at the auto dealership for a routine maintenance procedure on GHR's beloved Prius, I'm venturing into the heady world of about three years ago and taking a first stab at the world of 'mobile blogging'. We'll see how it goes...
One thing that hasn't really changed with the advent of the 'new technological era' is the concept of the waiting room. Sure, there are more people with laptops and mobiles, and there's wi-fi (possibly of the very weak variety, like the network I can't connect to here), but other than that, they're much the same. Same bleating telly, either on sport channels or the mind-numbing idiocy of day-time chat and tragedy shows, same old magazines and oft-read newspapers, same people trying to kill time until their number is called, or until their car's vital fluids flow viscuous and clear once again.
Uncannily, though, and perhaps as a reflection of the current state of the world, this waiting room is surprisingly quiet. It's strangely sobering.
