But first zoo how many times have you checked your phone since youve charles for adults only. ,, charles adults only may strike you as a bit odd as a policy for a summer camp, until you realize adults are just kids at heart. Our cover story reported by luke burbank. Camp wandawega in elkhorn, wisconsin looks like a place that time forgot. A place where childhood memories are made. Except for one not so minor detail. There arent any kids here. And reveille plays at 9 30 which seems early for many campers. Welcome to adult summer camp where your inner child meets your outer grownup. We were friends who didnt have kids, and it was a way to joke, and be back at summer camp, except we have the keys to the liquor cabinet. David hernandez and theresa suratt bought camp wandawega for a song. David grew up coming here when it was run by latvian priests. It was a place where kids could be kids, and you could warnld in the woods and take a boat and do things you couldnt g do in the city. Reporter it was in need of serious tlc. My idyllic childhood memories were different than the reality. I freaked out. Reporter these days, wandawega campers can kick back, canoe, shoot arrows, or learn to use a tomahawk. Basically, i just started marking where i stood and where i could actually hit the target. Reporter for camper kristen olsen, its not so much claiming fond childhood memories as it is about replacing them. I did go to a Girl Scout Camp once, and it didnt go well for me, so i swore off camping in general. Reporter is this going better . Much better, yeah. This is a place where people can just connect to reconnect to the simpler pleasures of simple time. Disconnect, kind of. How many times have you checked your phone since youve been here. Its sad. You have no idea how many mobile phones are at the bottom of the lake. In a way that actually seems to be a good thing, right. Its mother natures payback to leave cell phones in the lake. Reporter an estimated milliolen adults sent themselves away to summer camp last year, answering this new demand, a variety of offersing. Camps where grownups can learn to breathe, to sift through the sands of time, or even run away from zombies . I first picked up the bass a year ago july. For jeremy schwartz, camp is living his childhood fantasy of playing in a rock band. And i thought, what the heck. Why not give it a shot now. You know, youre only 42 once. Reporter by day, jeremy is a librarian, but every wednesday night this summer, hes part of a kinks cover band in deacon, new york. To have that catharsis of just letting it out, and yelling and top of your lungs and jumping around and dancing. You know, its better than therapy. Reporter when musician Steven Claire founded the beacon music factory, he thought it would mostly be for kids. When did the idea of having adults learning rock music and music in general come to you . When parents of our teen rock campers begged me to do it for them. Reporter does anybody at the library know about this . Im not sure its really their scene. Reporter it turns out, though, that slipping into another world to expand ones horizons in the summertime sent a new idea. The Chautauqua Institute in new york state was founded in 1874 as just such a state, where people could take time out to pray toshings play to play, and to learn. There was concern how leisure time was being used and there was a desire to find a way to use your time in a constructive way. Chautauqua historian, john schmitz. People would learn a hobby and take up formal education. It was extremely popular. The first assembly, over 20,000 people came for the two Week Assembly here to chautauqua lake. Reporter so popular, in fact, that chautauqua sprang up around the country. 250 at one point. And chautauqua became a word in the dictionary. Things havent changed all that much here in the last 140 years. Chautauqua attend poetry readings in the hall of philosophy. Time sprinkles, water leafy with the weight. Listen to symphony in the amphitheater. Plus, of course, listen to plenty of outdoor activities. I have been coming here all my life. My parents met her. Reporter for jack and yvonne, chautauqua has been a way of life for a half century. This is where i learned to swim and sail and play Little League baseball and learn to play the piano. You can take classes and go to lectures, you can sit on the beach or this porch. And children have all kinds of activities. So there is something for everybody. This is one of the few places, i think, that you get that. Reporter is this a good way to keep your brain young . Yes. Reporter meanwhile, back in wisconsin, another day of adult summer camp has come and gone at wandawega. On monday, these campers will go back to their real lives. Back to office jobs and bills and the pressure of being a grownup. For now, though, that all seems pretty far away. As more and more americans seem to be figuring out, theres just something about smores and camp fires and new best friends that make for an unforgettable summer, no matter what your age. Charles next, a capital design. Charles now a page from the sunday morning almanac. August 2nd, the day Pierre Charles lenfant was born in paris. 1754. Highly educated he traveled to america in 1777 as an emergency in the revolutionary army. In 1791, president washington commissioned him to plan the capital city on the banks of the potomac. Lenfants designed called for a grid intersected by diagonal avenues. He Gave Congress a home on what came to be known as capital hill. While on the other side of hill, he placed the official home for the president , just north of this park like mall. Lenfant died in 1825 at the age of 70, but a design for washington, d. C. Lived on with a few encroachments. Among them a railroad station in the middle of the mall. The very station where president James Garfield would be assassinated in 1891. To improve matters. Congress created the mcmillan commission, a professional body that largely restored the mall to lenfants original design, and which developed the riverbank land which became the jefferson ask lincoln memorials. Today washington, d. C. s layout is basically as lenfant envisioned it. The National Mall serving as a center stage for 4th of july celebrations, and other grand occasions. Just as we call george washington, the father of our country, the revolution calls Pierre Charles lenfant, the father of washington, d. C. This is an art or breakfast . Charles a wonderful still life painting inspired by a fruit bowl like this one. Not to be confused with a still life photograph. Moscow, idaho was named not for the city in russia, but the one in pennsylvania. Particularly, right . So it should come as no surprise that moscow, idaho is home to artist roger rowley whose medium is fruit plates . Weird. What you see this, its like an explosion. Reporter and then you say, wow. Thats sort of what i was imagining, for this to be overwhelming as a reporter like a giant kaleidoscope or intricate stain glass windows. Theyre arranged from the earlier one in january, and down to the columns all the way to the end of december. Reporter a calendar of color. It goes from relatively warm yellows and oranges into the deep rich blues and dark berries, so there is this rainbow, and the sense of the seasons is apparent. Reporter up close, each one has an odd detail to reveal or a story to tell. Whats this one with this black lob at the top. My cat loves melon. I had the camera ready, and it was fine, here you go. Reporter and so why fruit plates . 10 years ago when it began the answer was simple. To convince his kids to eat fruit. The rule he set for himself, nothing too fancy. I wasnt trying to pick the perfect fruit. I was trying to be true to what it is you buy in the store, at the farmers market. Reporter but the saturday market in moscow, idaho is loaded with some of the most luscious fruit imaginable. Do you everer look at the shapes and the colors of the things able in terms of this is my paint . I certainly do. The orange of an apricot would look amazing against the blue of a blueberry. It just happens to be next to the gallery where the fruit plates were going shown. Look at that line there. Reporter people do make the connection between whats outside and whats inside. No accident since roger rowley is the director. I think this is a true artist who can figure out how to make art out of their kids breakfast. Reporter that is the question, afterall. When does a plate of fruit stop being breakfast, and start being art . I put it on the breakfast table and it would get eaten or not eaten, and i began to just be more conscious about arranging it, and saying lets make this look nice. Maybe the kids will eat if it looks aesthetically interesting. It was a year of doing that observe i took a photograph. Reporter by then, roger could see the whole project in his mind. Hundreds of fruit plates photographed in exactly the same way at his back door. He takes his pictures, snap shot style, capturing shadows, reflections. The seasons, the weather, leave their signature on his work. You didnt go through any kind of agony of making art . No. Its intuitive. You start with the natural forms whether its an apple or a pair or an apricot, and you have natural building blocks. Reporter leaving one more question. When does a plate of fruit stop being art and start being breakfast . Charles ahead, maybe cuba. But first, look to your left, and then to your right. One of these people will be going home. Charles made for laughs. ,, every summer, the best tennis players in the world collide in new york. But thats just the final chapter of a great story.

Charles Megan Mullally and Nick Offerman with the Television Comedy parks and recreation. Not at all like the romantic comedy which is a long standing real life marriage. This morning they tell all. At first, people were like, ive discovered something. You guys arer married. Yeah, weve been married many years. Reporter if you didnt know actors Nick Offerman and Megan Mullally were husband and wife, youd be forgiven. Youre not likely to read about them in the gossip problems. Weve been together 15 years, thats 200 years in hollywood marriages. Reporter offseen it lacks drama, but off screen they get attention in their comedy. Hi. Reporter three seasons, mullally fortrayed walker on will and grace. Offerman played antigovernment ron swanson on parks and recreation which ended its runnelerer this year earlyer this year. Hes a grown man, fishing is not that hard. The story of their romance and how they became hollywoods most unlikely power couple. Its at basis for their stage show, summer of 69. Its seven level dantes inferno. He could achieve climax with me. But now it has been a great six months. Reporter is it awkward to talk about your sex life on stage . Apparently not. Reporter the show appeared, and it was a homecoming for mullally. Coming here. Reporter where was your room . I used to climb out thaf side window right over here, and sit on that roof and smoke cigarettes. Reporter were you i smoked cigarettes, but i never did a lot of drugs, and i was virginal, and pretty good. Thats all changed. Reporter in 1998, mullallys life was changed when she was cast in will and grace. Two years later, and already a star, her romantic life took a turn when she took a role in a spall play in los angeles. On the first day of a new play, if youre a single actor, they do a scan around to see which person in the cast youre going to have sex with. Ive been doing plays all wrong. You see, nobody ever told you that. Thats the problem. Reporter one person she didnt initially notice was offerman also cast in the play, but he noticed her. There was a beauty and the beast element going oand also an elisa dolittle situation. There was a class despairity, and i realized im really attracted to her, but i think shes officially socially out of her league. I live in a basement, and shes about to win her first emmy. I was really scared. Reporter but a shared sense of humor eventually brought them together. We started doing a lot of bits together during rehearsal. I find you really funny. One day i was like, wait a minute, is he sexy . Whats happening . My plan was working. Reporter at the time, offerman had been taking wood working jobs to make ends meet. Despite acting with stepenwolf, hollywood had been less than welcoming. When you arrive here, the town tells you, you are cheap. This is very superficial. You can play a plumber or a rapist. So you know, you might as well get a resume that says Nick Offerman, rapist plumber. Reporter offerman manageed to get a small role as a plumber. Someone needed their pipes cleaned out. Reporter in an episode of will and grace. Look closely at red carpet photos from those years, and while all eyes are on mullally, you can see offerman lurking in the background. People said, isnt it upsetting to you that megan is by far the bread winner in your household . I was like no. Whats the matter with you. Ive always been a very hard worker. But if your wife happens to be incredibly successful and you dont like that, i believe that means youre dumb. Reporter it wasnt long before offerman was cast on parks and recreation in 2009. This hotel always serves bacon wrapped shrimp. Thats my number one food wrapped around my number three food. Reporter and he shot to fame the way his wife had a decade earlier. It was uncanny. Reporter was it helpful to see megan go through this . Yes. We have an 11 year age difference. I was slower developing chuckle smith. But in every way, watching megan go through all the roller coaster of will and grace and the thing that is came with it were fantastic education. Reporter today the couple works together as much as possible. Mullally even guest starred as his crazy exwife tamo parks and rec. Shes near. Hey. Reporter do you feel bad when someone says, would you feel bad to work with your spouse. Like its all i can do to stand by spouse every night. Thats so sad. I like my spouse. I think love is in the air, at least for us. Reporter on tour, the couple found a way to keep their relationship healthy. By talking and singing about it in front of thousands of people. Let me tell you a little secret. When megan and i are in our 90s, im guessing we wont be crushing each others bones on the regular anymore. Because that would crush but well still be together, because i love the ever living crap out of this woman, and she loves the crap out of me. [ applause ] charles ahead, dentist versus lion. Charles a worldwide uproar over cecil the lion. Cecil was 13 years old, a huge lion and attraction in zimbabwe. A star until early july when a minnesota deptist, Walter Palmer with the help of two local hunting guides used food to lure cecil outside the protection of the park where he was hunted down, and killed. Palmer has gone into hiding. Hes issued a statement saying that he believed that the hunt was legal. Extradite palmer. Extradite palmer. Khx s charles protesters lef stuffed animals outside of his closed office. Officials in zimbabwe are calling for his extradition to Face Criminal Charges as the two local hunting guides already do. We take this seriously. Charles Wildlife Service says its investigating as well. It was contacted by a representative of Walter Palmer. As of late friday, the British Conservation group tracking cecil with a gps collar for years had received nearly a half Million Dollars in contributions since cecils death. It was too late for cecil. In a late hour for all african lions whose numbers have dropped from an estimated 75,000 in 1980 to fewer than half that today. Ahead, where the stars at night are big and bright. ,,,, charles theres nothing like a telescope to bring out the wonders of a starry, starry night. Provided, of course, that you find a spot without lights. A spotlight like the one that Barry Peterson found. Reporter in west texas, theres not much to see in a vast stretch of emptiness, that is, until the sun calls it a day. And then up there is a night sky bursting with stars. A jam packed canopy of constellations. Fly me to the moon with the stars, and jupiter and mars. Reporter juan sings about the fight sky at a dallas night club, and doesnt just croon about the moon. He makes a living looking up at the moon and stars, teaching astronomy and spreading the word about every star gazerss worst enemy, bright lights. You call it light mrueg. Just like sound pollution. Reporter he brings students from the university to this particular part of the state where the lights are so few that the stars are so many, captured by time lapse photography. Ive yet to see a person look up at the sky in the dark, or look through a telescope and not go wow. It never happened. Reporter they always do that . They always do that. Reporter in a world where people spend most of their time looking down. There isnt much incentive to look up. City lights block out the night sky. But theres also an earth bound version of a black hole right down there in west texas. Thanks to men like a veteran astronomer at the observatory, one of the largest telescopes in north america, it sits atop a west texas mountain. I know you have a number of nicknames. The angel of darkness. What does that mean . Im the under light police. Reporter saving the darkness is his mission. Using grant money, he offers free light fixtures that aim light down and away from the night sky. He and others helped make down light mandatory in seven counties, covering 28,000 square miles. To convince the dubious, bill offers this example. Then goes starry night, painted in 1889. Imagine the painting today with light polluted skies. It might look like this. Wed be without starry night because van gogh wouldnt have seen it. How many van goghs are alive today that dont have that inspiration. Reporter there may not be many van goghs videos america, but there are star gazers. Its beautiful. The darker, the more you see. Reporter and as it turns out, darkness is coog you can sell. These are for people who want to live under the dark sky. The development and street lights and outdoor lights we come here as astronomers, amateur astronomers to enjoy the skies without interference with Light Pollutions. Reporter bob newman came here for a night sky that still entrances. How many of us are lucky enough to say this . You can read by the light of venus. You certainly can read by the light of the full moon. The milky way looks like the light of the sky. Look how beautiful the moon looks. Look how large thes. And the moon is just the beginning of exploration. He believes there are still plenty to have learn about the universe from gazing at a truly dark night sky. Theres a lot of things out there that we dont know about, and thats exciting. Maybe we can still discover. We can still be the explorers. Its not over. Our children and all of our descendants will have that opportunity to discover. Thats what we need to have. Reporter and if you keep the Light Pollution away, they can stand here and do that . Thats right. Thats what we hope to do. Reporter here is one of the last places where modern man can look ask see what our ancient ancestors saw. The lighting or just basking in natures night light. Charles next, the pride of cuba. ,,,,,, charles now that u. S. Relations with cuba are durning over a new leaf cigar smokers are hoping to enjoy a new leaf too. Were off to ha vaun avana. Reporter along havanas waterfront, no one asks politely before lighting up. No one complains about the smell or the smoke. The annual festival is the most cigar friendly spot on the planet. An International Celebration of cuban pride. Its cigar. Cuban cigars go together. When you think about cube ayou think about these. Reporter for two decades. David sawona has written about cuban cigars. Were in havana with cigars reporter we took a drive along the famed esplanade. The humidity, the open air, and its just great dpr a cigar in my opinion. Cuban cigars come wraped in mystique. Fidel castro made them his trademark before quitting for health reasons. Winston churchhill loved the cigars, as did president kennedy before he enathed the trade embargo in 1962, j. F. K. Stocked with his personal favorite. Today i can announce the United States has agreed to formally reestablish diplomatic relations with republic of cube a. On july 1st, president obama announced an end to the diplomatic isolation of cube a. On august 14th, the American Flag will once again fly above the u. S. Embassy in havana. The president has also called on congress to lift the embargo. These steps could once again allow the sale of cuban cigars in not surprisingly, savonas magazine supported an end to the embargo. Will it make a significant difference to cuba in any way . I think so. Were talking about the Worlds Largest market for premium cigars. Its important to the cuban cigar industry in the United States. Reporter at la corona, one of cubas largest cigar facts workers hand roll 30,000 cigars a day. They blend different tobacco leaves for the most famous brands. Monty cristo. Oio monterey. Each one is a sculpture. Its a work of art. Very hard to do. Imagine if someone gave you a pile of leaves and said turn that into a cigar . Reporter the leaves come from the province in western cube aoften considered the worlds premier tobacco growing region. You can see the oil. Look at that. Reporter if a cuban cigar soul is in the soil, its also in 38yearolds hirochi robainas blood. The cuban cigar is is the best. Reporter is there a cigar better than yours. What . Anywhere in the world . No. This is the best in the world. The best in cuba. Its really the best in cuba, its the best in the world. Reporter very proud of that cigar . Im very happy, because all inside this cigar is because my grandfather teach me. All the experience of my family is inside this cigar. Reporter so your grandfather built this . Yes. Reporter the family has been growing tobacco since 1885, and hirochi hopes it ends up in the United States, where cigar sales have quadrupled in the last 20 years. United states is a 45 minute flight. So its very easy for this country to send cigars to the United States. Reporter on this day, the United States came to him. A cigar club from florida. It was more than a pilgrimage. Daniel, an american who owns a cigar shop in naples has traveled here a dozen times. He and hirochi see Business Opportunities emerging in the United States. The open secret in cigar making is that you have to have good relationships with the growers. You need the growers. Youve got to have the best tobacco. Reporter do you feel its an advantage to have made these relationships already . L the early bird gets the worm. So well see. I feel its like two levers lovers are ready to meeted. Theres a romance, and both side want is it to take place, and now it would be nice to see it happen. Reporter if it happens, the cuban Tobacco Industry believes it would dominate the 6. 7 billion u. S. Cigar market predicting a 25 share in the first year, and in time, a 70 share. Is that realistic or are the cubans in for a surprise . I think theyre not taking full consideration of how good the cigars made outside of cuba are today. Cigar of the year this year is nicaraguas. Theres no matter time than when theyre cold side by side. Reporter legal cubans have been a long time coming. But nothing about cigars is supposed to feel rushed. And its good news if you believe the only thing better than a great cigar is another one. Charles next, a life in pictures. Lost and found. Yes, if im not in it, ill have breakfast.

Old 16 millimetre home movies from the 1930s labeled coda chrome experiment. I was intrigued. I took the projector and the films and i started to watch. And i loved what i saw. I saw scenes of our community that they were in color. They were the first color home movies. What intrigued bill even more was this woman. He said whoever she was, the cameraman was smitten. I started doing research. He found out the frafsh, a guy named bob cramer went to work for kodak labs right out of high school, and that girl was his high school sweetheart, leona sharp. She would be 96 years old if she was alive, and i wondered. Reporter he found an address, and a woman came to the door. She opened the door three inches. And i told her we had these films, and the door opened a little wider. Literally . Yes. And she said wait and disappeared. She came back about a minute later holding her wedding picture. And she said come in. Reporter heres what bill learned. Bob and leona got married after bob joined the air force. A few days after the wedding he learned to fly and was sent to europe to fight world war ii. On the way he actually flew his plane over leonas house. This is a picture of it. And then he waved and then he was off. You never saw him again . No. Reporter leona says losing him was hard, but finding him again has been wonderful. I wouldnt believe it. After more than 70 years, leonas love story came rushing back in living color. Even though she did get married again for a while, we got the sense this was her true love.

Most men had more than one wife. Did you practice polygamy in those days . I didnt practice it, i was theres nothing on tv like this anymore. The 2,000yearold man was a sketch gone wild with reiner interviewing brooks as the oldest man in the world. Whats it like to have seven wives . Terrible. It was the worst thing that ever happened to me. Come home from work, and i open the door, and i hear, youre late [ i just cant do it. At my age, i think i have the right to be selfish. Reporter reiner himself was the oldest man in the star packed oceans 11 gang. But his Biggest Box Office hits were behind the cam ra. And action. Director of the jerk, and oh god, starring george burns. Do you swear to tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth. So help me, me. So help you me if it pleases the court, and even if it doesnt please the court, im god, your honor. Clearly youre a guy who likes to make people happy. Is that a tough trait to have when youre a director. Its a wonderful trait to have. You can get the best out of people if theyre happy and not worried and not frightened theyre going to make a mistake. Robbie does exactly the same. Dont demand anything of anybody. You hire actors who you think will be right for the part, and then you let them go. Yes, yes, yes maybe thats why rob reiner cast his wife for a small, but climactic moment . Ill have what shes having. It had to be reporter what really got Estell Reiner excited but singing. And as carl wrote, it was something his wife loved until the day she died in 2008. Why did you write about the last moments of her life . Because it was so beautiful. Estell died when she was 94, and the last year of her life was lying in bed. She wanted to go back and sing, and she couldnt get out of bed. She had major problems. Her mind was always there, and at the last moment, she wasnt even breathing, but every minute a little something. I said, she should go out hearing something lovely, like her last albums. So i put on songs, and i was playing. I said play it up loud. Youre so beautiful beautiful and full and then shell hear it as shes going. He played her out. She had such a lovely sweet face. And lucas, my son, did you hear what she said. Said you have a lovely sweet voice. And estell said and passed away. Her lips then gone. I write about it, because it was a good way to go. Hello to her son reporter and music still keeps him going. Reiner sings on his daily walks. At one point, even considered a career as a crooner. I was six years old. I said i want to believe a tenor. He said, a jewish tenor. Reporter were thankful carl reiner chose to make us laugh instead. The road that leads back to that tumbled down shack. That was part of it. Charles ahead. Heres looking at the chevrolet. Going topless. Riding topless is one of the great joys. Showing us firsthand. Reporter you know, Nothing Better on a summer day than driving in the top down, wind in my hair, and a mustang convertible. While the lure of a convertible might be the sex appeal. Just think of carrie grant cruising the riff areviera in c a thief. It was the earliest cars were all convertibles. This model t has the top on, but mostly driven without. Plus, theres no windshield or side windows. Hence the protective gear. Curator of transportation at the Henry Ford Museum in michigan says the convertible has had more starts and stops. Its affordability. But you see things change as enclosed cars get more affordable. And convertibles are for the rich. It turns around. Reporter by 1936, the open top car binged for less than one percent of the automobile sales. So the convertible is essentially dead by the 30s . Its dead or on the way out. Theres still wealthy drivers who can afford . What kind . Big cars. Luxury automobiles. Expensive vehicles. Not cheap. Reporter they may not have been cheap, but they were useful for politicians like president franklin de roosevelt who toured in a lincoln convertible, the sunshine special. The next is in world war ii when a lot of americans in france and other countrys saw the roadsters with convertibles in 1950, every american car maker had a convertible in the lineup. 33 model announcer heres looking at the new chevrolet. More than a new car, a new concept of low cost motoring. Reporter from 1962 through 1966, convertibles accounted for 6 of car sales. But by the 1970s they hit the skids because of security, safety, and the faster pace of life. And people arent cruising down the road at 35 miles per hour. Theyre doing, 60, 70 miles per hour, and the gentle breeds is a hurricane. Reporter nowadays only a tiny number of convertedibles are sold. There will always be drivers who want to drive for fun and the thrill of it. As long as one man is going through a midlife cietz, theres a convertible to be sold. Itsy bitsy teeny weenie polka dot bikini. Itsy bitsy. Heres a look ahead. Monday is the Hobo Convention in brit, iowa. On tuesday, president obama celebrates his 54th birthday.

And saturday, canton, ohio, the pro football hall of fame, class of 2015. It is Commerce Department said the economy is growing at anaenual rate of 2. 3 . Anyone have an idea why the economy is growing so slowly for so long . Anyone . Ben stein thinks he knows. One of the mysteries is why theres a stall in the worker productivity. Worker productivity is how much each worker produces at a year. It rose rapidly for decades after 1941, and recently the rate of rise has been tepid. Theres explanations for the slowdown. Change in competitioosition of labor force, excessive regulations. None of these has been proved. Id like to suggest another one. The cell phone, or the smart phone, if you like. Virtually unknown a couple of decades ago, the cell phonoer as a matter of facter phone is now a virtual body part. I did a bit of research on my phone, of course, and apparently estimates vary wildly. But the average american spends a large amount of the day on his or her cell phone. Reports say americans checking them roughly 150 times per day. There are literally billions of texts sent per day in the usa. The ordinary american sends 40 texts per day. And others are much higher. The phone is a life blood for americans now. To be sure, some of these calls are about business and are productive. But if half the calls are personal, thats immense parted of the day gone. Dont get me wrong, these calls sometimes produce happiness. Theyre not just waste motions, but they dont produce energy to count. Its water cooler gosil. But huge expense. If this many people nearly 300 million cells in the usa are online, some of it has to come out of production. If youre gos gossiping or not working, the phone is a gossip machine. You cant count it.
