the geeks who will invent the future seem unconcerned with the now


 

The smart, modern boys who’ll shepherd satellites and parent sly AI - live blocks away and spend sunny afternoons with digital zombies. I talked with one - once, I think, he mumbled some strange techno-English. He was pale and skittish but attractive In a shy, goth way. “Who are you voting for?” he stared blankly, “for prom court??” he stared blankly. “Madison’s nice, I say", handing him a ballot, *He checks her name* “Thanks!”

Speaking of voting...the county sheriff came knocking at my door yesterday wanting to know if the signature on the ballot he had was mine. Seems that someone has already voted for me. Now I must fill out an affidavit have it witnessed and notarized to prove that I am who I am before I can vote. And if I don't do this the illegal ballot will count. Voter fraud is alive and well in Texas...and they say it doesn't happen. Damn.
