Real life! Really!

The end of spring, the coming of summer.

Well, it is real to me, but you are already one step removed, having only a photography and my word for it.  And some of my games already have so realistic graphics that the casual observer may be fooled.  But for one who is there, real life is still a cut above the rest, to say the least.

Games can give a reasonably lifelike picture of the landscape, but I have so far to see any that has real depth. And even when they one day get the sight and sound right, I will still not be able to feel the spring-chilled wind ruffle my hair and smell earth and flowering trees. (The smell of “natural fertilizer” is luckily gone for this time.)  And I rather prefer tired legs after a long trip over the wrist pain after a long gaming session.  So, all in all, real life still has its advantages.  I would definitely miss it.
