Progress

One of the things about being a Reactive is recognizing how quickly the world is changing. I'm sure it'll accelerate - the real differences may not be visible until the Crisis ends - but already the waves can be seen.

The particular item that inspired this was a billboard above Sunset Blvd. advertising something called a "dayclub." Presumably like a nightclub, but open during the day. Plus a bar named the Frolic Room, bright neon lights outside and with a doorman -- in the middle of the day. And when/why did bars start doing late-night happy hours, e.g from midnight to 2AM?

(Explain if you wish, but my concern is how these unusualities appear to have become normal before I noticed they existed at all.)

And of course I should have taken a picture. The idea that my pocket networked computer and media server, here, can also acquire images as I see them hasn't yet reached my normal levels of consciousness. Just another clue of how soon we will be dinosaurs.
