Staying Connected

 It was two days after the election on our trip up to Rochester.  For long stretches of the trip, Liz and Amy, in the back seat, were connected with their cell phones to the outside world.  They were looking for reactions to the election, from the twitterverse to the news stories and columnists.  We were all in shock (and still are, of course) so it was helpful to hear what people were thinking and saying and writing.  What was different was that when Kathy and I are in the car, we are usually shut off from the world, and that's usually just fine.
