The Place Where Ludington Talks
Reflexes
At a recent spring training game between the Pirates and Braves, Danny Ortiz's bat slipped from his hand during his at bat. The missile went directed towards little Landon Cunningham's head as he sent a picture over his cell phone to his mother. In front of him, the two fans ducked for cover, but fortunately his father Shaun, a firefighter used to confronting dangers first hand to save others, reached over in that split second and protected his son.
It's a fitting allegory for what confronts us in the greater training camp baseball game called life. We shouldn't be ducking the duty we have to our next generation by saving our own bacon without thought for future generations. We need to take some bruising in order to protect them and to make sure that we don't continue the Ponzi schemes put on us by our government and their crony partners for quick fixes now, to be paid for dearly in the future by our kids and their kid's kids.

You can't really fault a kid for texting pics to his mom of his first baseball game, but some of our kids (and technobot adults) cannot have fun enjoying life without including their gear. I recently took my younger half out bowling, and she bowled the first game with her phone in one hand and her mind focused more on chatting with her friend than how she was bowling. Only when she was threatened with sitting out did she put the phone down.
Even without gaining consciousness, the machines are slowly winning because they are taking over ours.

The video below explains what happened and who he was communicating with on the phone. The video also has a frame by frame of the bats flight. Just think what would have happened if his dad had been texting.

Looks like the kid was completely oblivious to what was going on, maybe because he like most kids nowadays spend most of their time looking at a phone. See what's in his hands? Good for dad for paying attention.
