Depression Era Challenge Update, Week 2

Week 2 begins with a challenge on reducing technology usage.  This is tricky for me and my job, but perhaps I will take an afternoon this weekend and unplug.

There was a video as a part of the challenge that began with thinking about the last time you were lost while driving. What if there was no cell service? As a good Mainer, I always have the Maine Atlas and Gazetteer in my car, as so much of Northern Maine has such terrible service. I use it often when planning trips. I *think* but am not sure that getting a copy is a requirement here in Maine when you first get your license. Just kidding. But I learned to read it and use it when I started to drive, and now 35 years later, still make sure I always have a copy of it.

From the challenge;

In today's world, we cannot completely disconnect from technology. But we can still do a few things without it. Here are a few suggestions: Use cell phones only for conversations - no texting! Send Snail Mail - no emails! Cook from Scratch (no microwave!) Mix by hand Use Paper & Pencil instead of a calculator Visit with a friend or neighbor IN PERSON

I will probably, instead, do more things from scratch. I do need to feed my sourdough! I'm trying to think of a new tech-free skill to tackle.

I'll go feed my sourdough starer while I ponder this. Will check back later this week.
