“Why does anybody need to do that?”

Great Six. Reminds me a little of why I still do the math in my checkbook (yes! I actually still use one, lol) in my head. Reliance on gadgets has a sneaky way of dulling the senses. The brain is a muscle. If you don’t use it, you lose it!
Thank you for the reminder 😀

Engaging as always and thought-provoking… in this case your story made me think of my own (similar) admonition for me, ‘I can find my way from here to there without the aid of a GPS’ (I am of the belief that GPS does to ‘sense of direction’ what calculators did to math skills… lol)
