I'm not as convinced as you are, but I do see Google looking at strategic partnerships to move the ball forward. They will either buy or buy into a car company and exert their influence.
Hey NLY, thanks for your review. It usually isn't easy to fix a broken friendship. There are several I wish I could fix, but the fix is beyond my ability.
Kitt, thanks for your review. The story reflects sort of an alternate reality. I can't tell you much about Danny, but I can tell you a lot about Mitch.
Kitt, you are making me blush! Yes, Michael was sloppy and infected his system, but was too consumed in his plot that he forgot to delete the evidence. I'd like to think that in the end it worked out though.
Happy Birthday, Cia!
I wish for you overcast skies, no sunburns, a library filled with books you haven't read and plenty of alone time to read them all in peace.
Even though it isn't mentioned in this chapter, I wondered if Bob possibly reminded Markus of his father. I can't imagine Markus would want to talk to anyone who were to remind his of his father. Looking forward to reading the next chapter.
Dark, I saw a bumper sticker on the way to work yesterday and I thought of you and this blog entry. The sticker read:
There are two means of refuge from the miseries of life: MUSIC and CATS. -- Albert Schweitzer
My cat Callie died around the beginning of 2013. Callie wasn't a friendly cat most of the time. She liked to observe from a distance and plan sneak attacks. I never realized how attached I was to her until she was gone. I missed seeing her on the cat tree giving me a dirty look because my noise disturbed her. About a month before Callie passed I was given a new black kitten. I thought maybe Callie needed another cat since she didn't really bond with humans. Ariel is the opposite of Callie -- almost too clingy. Ariel made Callie's passing easier, but I still miss seeing Callie or watching her chase the little red dot when I would play with her using the laser pointer.
I'm so sorry for your loss.
Kiltie,
Thanks for your review. As I've said before, this story is quite personal for me even though it doesn't reflect what happened in real life. If only real life could be fixed in just a few short words.
Anyone who got a handwritten letter from me wouldn't be able to read it anyways. My cursive handwriting is unreadable and my print isn't that much better. That being said, I received a handwritten thank you card from a friend a few months ago. It was very sweet.
