No description necessary Giulio.  He should be easy to spot out on the
street doing that (not using electronics.)

girlfriend...

Heterosexuality on open display.  The mind reels.

I saw one of those last year too, the old non-vaping variety, made from some
sort of plant leaf.  I didn't even know those could still be procured, or
that the requisite ignition devices still exist.  

>...Some things are really outrageous. When are they going to install the
long-promised 24/7 surveillance devices and fast-response robocops?

We need that, and we need it soon.  Disconnected unnetworked lone wolves are
a clear and present danger.  

The Starbucks owner at 7th and Fremont is downplaying the whole incident.
He didn't witness it himself but he says five other Starbucks owners near
that intersection have either seen something similar or heard of it.  Two of
the three Starbucks owners near 8th and Fremont agree.  They say it could
have just been a guy who liked coffee.  Or he accidentally switched off his
power strip and the batteries on all his devices ran low simultaneously.  Or
he was temporarily bandwidth-less due to circumstances beyond his control.

Authorities are asking for witnesses to come forward.  It might have been
the same man who perpetrated all the local electronics-free coffee-drinking
incidents in the area, intentionally and persistently not receiving signals
where they are freely available.

Local activists are organizing a rally for a Minimum Guaranteed Bandwidth.
Perhaps there is a way to find and help these lonely people, these modern
day Eleanor Rigbys, those who somehow exist and survive below the radar in
the hazy dangerous netherworld where electronic communications pass over
undetected and responses remain unsent, tragic cases who somehow slip
through society's safety internets.
