I made the mistake of parking the rental car head first the first night, having to back up with little room to spare when leaving the next morning. On our final night, there were no spaces available because one guest had parked at such an absurd angle that made it impossible to take the last remaining spot. Fortunately, we found the car's owner and they gracefully parked their car so we could enter that last spot. The overflow lot is not close by, so try to find a spot behind the hotel and back in to facilitate a safe and easy departure.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: x-large;"><b><i>CombatCritic Gives Wheatlands Lodge 6 Bombs Out Of 10 ...

I made the mistake of parking the rental car head first the first night, having to back up with little room to spare when leaving the next morning. On our final night, there were no spaces available because one guest had parked at such an absurd angle that made it impossible to take the last remaining spot. Fortunately, we found the car's owner and they gracefully parked their car so we could enter that last spot.

He refused to listen, tossing Yorkshire pudding and sausages on the plate without my input. I asked him for some well-cooked roast beef, an end maybe, because I do not like rare meat, but he just started slicing the red meat and throwing it on my plate. I told him Ï don't like rare beef¨ several times, but he kept insisting that it was not rare as if I could not see the red meat with my own eyes.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;">Third, I contacted the manager, but she only placated me despite my complaints.

Unfortunately, I had to drive my three accompanying tea-tot tellers, so none of us imbibed much to my chagrin.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj1TbhHkAWvLpBQKQMZ-KLBZ2ngi67X2DK-svhvm-DLhW32Zvhq9P7YW2-nRa3tgFbULP79HL2pejS5_hWv3abUeE3uKA44NdK1bwKSZFoL2JwJZe6wnN7EsRFzRyTQMG6oL918C5UUV06P6xrJ9wZOJeyNAhrokhO33ID-oaYf8CC7a_isRZ6iLaWaevgm/s3599/20240106_210552.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1887" data-original-width="3599" height="343" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj1TbhHkAWvLpBQKQMZ-KLBZ2ngi67X2DK-svhvm-DLhW32Zvhq9P7YW2-nRa3tgFbULP79HL2pejS5_hWv3abUeE3uKA44NdK1bwKSZFoL2JwJZe6wnN7EsRFzRyTQMG6oL918C5UUV06P6xrJ9wZOJeyNAhrokhO33ID-oaYf8CC7a_isRZ6iLaWaevgm/w654-h343/20240106_210552.jpg" width="654" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;">They have a ¨Regular¨menu and a ¨Vegetarian¨menu, so everybody was happy.

Ingredients are pasta of one sort or another and white beans in a tomato-based broth or sauce. In this case, the pasta was a combination of several pastas - fettucine, farfalle, penne, and others - broken into small pieces and cooked al dente. They used small white beans, but the sauce had some tomato as a base, but was creamy, likely combined with panna. It was a large portion and was quite delicious.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhOR7J4IX4dpoI3WADfQBefehyKNf_eCyKfcatMF_X7vsV3vaMXPTrRveev_DIljwHglhaxWqbp17mhDB7xb4EuCCdczpqtPgffkLACm-Bf_M708VCtxd6FtLVUkC3k1AAEv1YnHgmhGIlbaQQvsYAgGmF_q72DAK_f5FV8K7AgrDPpDfFhFkzE3OF-tG7f/s4000/20231229_133235.jpg" style="font-family: Times; font-size: medium; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2252" data-original-width="4000" height="361" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhOR7J4IX4dpoI3WADfQBefehyKNf_eCyKfcatMF_X7vsV3vaMXPTrRveev_DIljwHglhaxWqbp17mhDB7xb4EuCCdczpqtPgffkLACm-Bf_M708VCtxd6FtLVUkC3k1AAEv1YnHgmhGIlbaQQvsYAgGmF_q72DAK_f5FV8K7AgrDPpDfFhFkzE3OF-tG7f/w641-h361/20231229_133235.jpg" width="641" /></a></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;">My wife ordered Mozzarella in Carrozza (€5), a Neapolitan specialty where a thick slice of mozzarella is placed between two slices of white bread, dipped in egg and breadcrumbs, then fried to a crisp golden brown.

The house is modern, massive, luxurious, and isolated.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;">After settling in and getting a good night's rest, they head to the beach for a day of sun and relaxation. As they chill, a small ship looms in the distance, but as the day progresses, the massive red oil tanker draws nearer and nearer to shore and it is headed straight at them! Once they realize something is horribly wrong, they run for their lives as the huge ship plunges into the shore where they had been sitting, spewing sand, seawater, chairs, and umbrellas in all directions.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;">Ironically, there seems to be a sudden and foreboding problem with their electronic devices - phones, tablets, computers, and televisions - which have been acting up all day. Rose (<span style="text-align: left;">Mackenzie) desperately longs to watch the final episode of the television series <i>'Friends'</i>, a theme that will continue until the very end of the film.</span></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;">Late that evening, they hear strange sounds outside, then there is a knock at the front door. Armed with a modern sculpture resembling a baseball bat, Clay Sandford (Hawke), opens the door to find a very well-dressed black couple (Mahershala Ali and Myha'la) claiming to be the Scott's, owners of the luxurious home they have rented.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;">George Scott (Mahershala Ali) claims that he and his daughter Ruth were attending an event outside New York City when they noticed a blackout in Manhattan, so they decided to head for their home in Long Island until they could find out what exactly was going on. The Sanford family matriarch (Roberts) is leery of the couple and their story, possibly based on their race, not so subtly insisting to Clay that she does not believe what the Scotts are telling them.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;">The Scotts ask if they can spend the night in 'their' home, offering $1,000 in cash for the Sandford's trouble until they can all fully assess the strange situation in the morning.<span style="text-align: left;"> </span></span></p></blockquote><blockquote style="border: none; margin: 0px 0px 0px 40px; padding: 0px;"><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;">George eludes to a potential cyberattack the next morning as an explanation for the strange goings-on, referring to the '<i>I love you</i>' hack from years before which caused havoc worldwide.<span style="text-align: left;"> Things definitely go downhill from there.</span></span></p></blockquote><blockquote style="border: none; margin: 0px 0px 0px 40px; padding: 0px;"><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;">Their TV only broadcasts an Emergency Broadcast System message with no details, Amanda's phone mysteriously receives cryptic alerts from CNN mentioning a cyber attack, and when George goes over to check on neighbors, they are missing, their home in disarray, and a jetliner has crashed on the beach in front of their house, another plane quickly approaching, then crashing with devastating results. What exactly is happening?</span></p></blockquote><blockquote style="border: none; margin: 0px 0px 0px 40px; padding: 0px;"><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;">Clay drives into town, Rose goes missing, and scores of deer show up from time to time looking extremely menacing. Archie's teeth fall out after a tick bite and a few very alarming booms with high-pitched sounds that hurt their ears and break glass, so George, Clay, and Archie go to see survivalist neighbor and friend Danny (Bacon) to see if he has any antibiotics. Danny meets them with a shotgun on his porch and tells them to leave before taking Clay's $1,000 in barter for a few antibiotic pills.

I came up with the term “social dystrophy” while exercising at the YMCA a few years back, having experienced more than the usual number of rude and obnoxious people that day. I cannot take credit for coining it because somebody already created a website, http://nyrixxblog.socialdystrophy.com, having apparently had similar experiences with humans.</span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;">According to Dictionary.com, “dystrophy” can be defined as “faulty or inadequate development” faulty or inadequate nutrition or development”. Dystrophy would then imply that there were some social skills in the first place, which may not necessarily be the case and may eliminate the term as an appropriate label for what we are experiencing. I may be generalizing, and I know there are many pitfalls in that and there are many socially adept people out there, young and old, but the problem seems to be getting worse and worse with the advent of new communication technologies (being invented almost daily). Let me elaborate and provide some poignant examples as well as potential solutions.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;">I was at the market the other day looking for my rewards card before placing my items on the conveyor (there was no line when I arrived and few customers were in sight). Before I had a chance to hand my card to the cashier, some middle-aged guy rushed up and started putting his shopping items on the conveyor. As they whizzed past me on their way to the cashier, I looked back and politely asked "Would it be OK if I continued to put my items on the conveyor and finish checkout?" while the cashier looked on in dismay. </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;">The man, who was accompanied by his teenage son, glared at me defiantly and stated "I didn't turn the conveyor on!". Really? Is that an answer or any kind of excuse for being rude and in such a hurry that you cannot wait until I complete a simple task? </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;">Dumbfounded by his ridiculous answer, I politely asked if he would remove his things so I could continue with my shopping, but his reply cannot be repeated here, cursing and insisting that I was being rude simply because I wanted to continue my shopping without having to move his out of the way. Let me just say that the situation deteriorated from there with the man using profanity and insulting my character. What an excellent role model for his teenage son!</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;">Then there are the people at the gym who turn the fans around the cardiovascular equipment on without bothering to ask the people who have been there for quite some time, and do not like the fan blowing on them if we would mind if they “turned the fan on”. How difficult would it be to say, “excuse me, can I turn this on?¨. Too difficult, obviously, for a social misfit who does not care about anybody but himself or herself or does not have the social skills or training to communicate with other humans.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;">Still at the gym, there are the people, usually young, who barge past us in the locker room on their way to a locker they just cannot live without. Many times there are areas of the locker room totally empty and available, but they NEED THAT locker, cannot wait a few minutes until we are done, or do not have the skills or inclination to say "Excuse me". Is that really so difficult?</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;">Then there is the guy in his BMW that lays on his horn when I have the nerve to continue in the lane that I was traveling in after leaving a stop light. If he had not been too busy talking on his cell phone, he would have been cognizant of which lane was his and where he should have been driving. Instead, he thinks I am a moron when in fact he should have been ticketed for an illegal lane change, driving while on his phone, and disturbing the peace.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;">I could go on and on and experience numerous instances like those above daily. Why is this happening so often and why does it seem to be getting worse as time goes on? In this reporter’s opinion, technology and a lack of clear core values are at the root of the problem.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;">Technology has grown so quickly and become so ingrained in our culture and our lives, that we “think” we cannot live without it. How many times have you seen a car swerving all over the road, only to catch up to the driver and find them chatting or texting on their cellphone? If you live in any metropolitan area, or anywhere else for that matter, you see it all the time. </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;">Everywhere you go people young and old are talking on the phone or texting their friends about some inane subject, completely oblivious to what is happening around them or considering what effect their behavior may have on others. They simply do not care.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;">It has gotten to such an extreme that people are texting the person standing next to them or in the same room! C’mon folks, is it really that demanding or difficult to look someone in the eye, open your mouth, and emit the words it takes so long to “thumb” on your smartphone (a misnomer).</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;">The ability of humans to communicate is slowly deteriorating because of technology. Whether it is cellphones or computers, the internet or email, laptops or iPads – you name it – technology has made us (yes, I am not immune) not only more productive but lazy! </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;">Before cellphones, computers, and the internet became commonplace, which was not all that long ago, people waited until they returned home to call a friend or even write a letter which may have taken several days to arrive once posted, and everybody seemed to be a lot happier, a lot less stressed than we are today. </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;">If technology and human behavior continue at this pace, the ability to communicate verbally, face to face, making eye contact and the whole shebang, is going to become a thing of the past. It is quickly becoming clear, particularly in the younger generations who have grown up with these technologies, that human communication is deteriorating rapidly and we should all be very concerned about this dilemma.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;">Finally, I believe it is a loss of focus on or poorly defined core values that can account for much of the self-centered behavior we see today. </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;">The world in general and our country specifically, politically, corporately, and personally, has lost touch with what is important to us – our values. </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;">I saw it day in and day out in my practice, when I asked a client to tell me what they value, they look at me like I have a penis growing out of my forehead. “My values? What do you mean exactly?” When I explain what values are, they routinely come up with “my family” or “my job”, still not quite grasping the concept.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;">Values, according to Encarta Dictionary, are “the accepted principles or standards of a person or group”. They define what we are about and, if clear and well-defined, help us act in a moral, ethical, or legal way when presented with novel or familiar situations. That sounds pretty important! </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;">But few people can tell me what their values are and that is pretty scary. It is no wonder that people are running around thinking of little but themselves when they have no moral, ethical, or legal map to help them get where they are going. That is one reason the world and our nation are in crisis, financial and otherwise, at this moment and it is also why people do not care about anybody but themselves.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;">Put down the phone, clarify your values (what is important to you), look people in the eye when you speak to them, treat people with dignity and respect, and act on your values...even if you are having a bad day, or are anxious or depressed ... be selfless, not selfish and the world will be a better place to live.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;">More on values in a future post…</span></div><div><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;">Key Words: Gen Z, gen, Z, generation, social, dystrophy, values, value, core, inept, incompetent, CombatCounselor, combat, counselor, psychology, SocialDystrophy, technology, SMS, phone, text</span></div><div class="blogger-post-footer">"CombatCritic" and "TravelValue" Are Trademarks of 3rd Wave Media Group, LLC
