Route 1 Mayberry

Did you ever watch Andy Griffith?  If so, you know how simple life was back then.  You know that a Sunday afternoon was spent on the front porch with family and friends drinking lemonade and catching up on the activities that occurred during the week.  It was just simple, nothing fancy.  Back then you had one phone and there was no such thing as call waiting, voicemail, or caller id.  No video games, no Amazon, and no telemedicine.  Today we have a rover, Perseverance, that roams on planet Mars.  Can you believe that?  More advances than ever in space, technology, and medicine, and yet mental health issues are increasing at a staggering rate with our youth.  So, is life better now?
