One thing that has always interested me is the instruments that salesclerks use to check out the items that you purchase in a store. It’s so amazing when they just point that little machine at your product and it just shows up on the computer screen. I think it’s one of the neatest things ever!

I was recently introduced to a salesman of one such of these machines. He told me all about the benefits of its use. He sells a model called the Motorola MC 75 hand held computer. Not only do they speed up the process at the checkout line, they also can help a business keep track of what’s being sold. All in all, I was impressed with the whole thing and wish I had a store to use it in.

I was watching game one of the World Series between the Philadelphia Phillies and the New York Yankees. I realized how far each team had come after their long seasons. The game of baseball has fallen behind Football and Basketball, but it is still one of the best games ever invented.

The problem seems to be that there is not enough action to attract kids. The thing is that it’s just a much more slowly drawn out game than the others. As I get older, I really appreciate the long innings where the excitement builds. I don’t know who will win this year, but I wish them both the best of luck!
