That's why I love to sit and listen to them Hannes,
Wise old guys that have been through all of the trials of life and some as spiritual as the earth itself. Wonderful chests full of stories stored in their minds, just waiting for a listening ear to discover.
I know what you mean and have made this experience of old and interesting stories of the places where I have grown up myself often when I was back home.
The thing is that nowadays old people get shoved aside and all of that experience is wasted.
One can learn so much from them about life and it's tricks, but everyone rather runs to ask Google.
A great and sunny good morning from here to you Hannes!
No rain here during the day, so I think we will pop down to the ocean at some time today.
Google is indeed faster, but it misses that personal touch that the old people have lol.
It all depends on which advices you are talking about, as Google is pretty general.
For instance, we always go to our bird books to identify a new bird, but they are limited, as often new arrivals here are not in the books, but we can find them on Google.
Now the old people don't know this, as they are life experts and most of the ones that we know do not use internet at all. Just walking libraries of life knowledge they are lol.
I have just come home from a ride. It's a bit cloudy and not very warm, but okay.
There's a thick encyclopedia in my parents house which consists of many books and which I loved when I was young. They have often been used. I have also a few books of an encyclopedia from the 1930s at home. This old one makes sometimes fun, because there are many things in it which I know are not true anymore 😉
I don't need advice in regards to landscaping or farming, and what I need to know about living in town I find in the internet, but as said before, I enjoy listening to the stories of these "walking libraries" as you say 😊
Animals, birds and Insects are all easier to identify by using Google or Wikipedia or other websites. In a book there are only a few photos of an animal, in the internet there are many. So I don't even try to use the "Austrian Birds" book we have 😉
Yeah, some farmers are that way and they can tell stories for hours and know things you would not believe 😀
Cheers and !BEER

So, now I say good morning Zac 😊
that's true, and I do also often belong to these People - Google is just faster 😉
But there's not much in my life which would need such advices.
