Things That Count



Things That Count


But enough about Venice, although it might just as well have been Venus at  times for all we knew about finding our way, enough....  You think I was kidding?  Let's talk counting. We are  with a woman who is wearing a device on her wrist that she connects to her iPad at night and it tells her how many steps she has taken that day.  In two days we took roughly twenty~five thousand 25,000 steps!  All those  steps and I think they were all taken in an area two or three city blocks square if we had been in Chicago.  All those blind alleys, dead~ends at canals, bridges to nowhere....

while I'm thinking numbers, I have a product idea.  converting Euros to dollars is too complicated for a window shopping wife,   so she just calls them "dollars."  So a fifteen Euro price tag becomes "fifteen dollars" instead of the twenty it actually calculates to.  Will somebody please invent a pair of eyeglasses that converts those prices in real time?
