If you like a restaurant and go to that restaurant frequently--once a week over a period of three weeks--and the restaurant always has the same 'specials', are those specials no longer special?

The New York Times should just drop all pretense and add a new section, Press Release. Or drop all other existing sections in favor of the all-subsuming section covering hard news, business, sports, art etc. and call it, Press Releases.

The Apple Watch? Personally, I don't want to look at my wrist, much less talk into it. That's way too much like the future. If the new Apple Watch covers a tattoo I'm all for it, if not I recommend sticking with the iPhone.

What if you get an audit at the end of your life showing how you spent your time? A statement as it were. So many hours eating, reading, sleeping, watching tv etcetc. This is a really horrible idea, but it's coming.

Is it still possible for a person living in a metropolitan area in the USA to wander lonely as a cloud?

No.

Well maybe, if to wander lonely as a cloud is to let go of the visible world, to make no attachments, to value impermanence, to be as harmless as possible while speaking up to power.
