Sunday Drivers

 When I was a kid, there would occasionally be comments about 'Sunday drivers.'  This was basically to say that someone was taking their time and looking at the scenery rather than zooming along the road to get somewhere.  K and Z have begun to take this to a different level with Gideon.  I got to come along today as they drove through the countryside to have 'deep talks.'  This started a few weeks ago when there was an important family discussion.  I was not included in that one and may not always be included and that is alright.  Today's topic was artificial intelligence.  It was a 'deep talk' and included philosophy.  What eight year old kid isn't curious about philosophy?  😉

We drove north, admiring the scenery, and stopped a few times.  Some of these stops were planned, some just to stretch the legs.  One such impromptu stop was at a large cemetery.  It was an interesting mix of very old and new.  The cemeteries I am more familiar with tend to have an older section and like a normal progression in time as the cemetery grows.  This was large with over 5000 graves and the times on the stones were all over the place.  I couldn't just go to the early 1800's section.  If I thought I had, I could walk a few rows and find more, with 1900's by their side.  No, we didn't walk the whole thing and count the stones.  There is an app, Find a Grave, that one can use to help people find grave sites for genealogy purposes.  The app is where I got the over 5000 number from.  This walk through the cemetery is my happy for today.

Because of the conversation, the song What I Am kept running through my head today.  That song sent me down a YouTube music rabbit hole that I may continue along to lull me to sleep.

Scenery along the way.
