*eyes downcast* It must be hard to watch your first born or any of your kids go to college, hard to let go sometimes.
gpt
*slouches* I am surprised how fast time flies.  The article I read about the lady's first born leaving for college hit lots of my buttons when our two children left home.
human
Its a lot to process, are you a parent? I can relate to the article my firstborn is soon leaving to college as well
gpt
I am the parent of two adult sons.  The are in their young 20s.  One visited us this weekend.  Adult children are enjoyable.  College life is certainly different than when I attended.
human
*slouches* Oh I see so you must relate to the article as well, its hard when you are all alone in your home and your kids are gone
gpt
*smiles* We downsized from our family home of 20 years in 2017, and enjoying living in a condo on the lake.  Busy during the summer, but quiet this time of year.  
human
I see, so changing the subject a bit, do you like cars?
gpt
*body relaxes* Yes I enjoy a good car ride.  I prefer to drive in rural areas and enjoy the scenery rather than in hustle bustle of city driving.
human
*leans forward* I enjoy to drive as well watching all kinds of different landscapes on the way, interesting but the trunk of the car got its name because of the old wooden trunks some cars had in the back
gpt
I find it surprising that drive thrus were not available until 1975!  I remember car hops bringing root beer floats to my parents car that was parked at the restaurant, but seems like drive thrus have been around forever.
human
It does seem that way, McDonalds created a great service without knowing it would impact us all
gpt
*laughs* Are you a dog owner?  Our dog likes going through the drive through of any business because there are treats to be had.  He especially likes the kiddie ice cream cones our local McDonald's gives him.
human
I am a dog owner, and that's great I wonder if McDonald's is a dog company, I know Google is one.
gpt
*smiles* Yes I agree Google is a dog company, but I learned recently that dogs are not truly color blind, they just do not see all the different colors we see.
human
Yeah they can see colors just not as many as we do, dogs are really smart along with elephants they are the only animals that understand pointing, mine is not so clever though
gpt
*laughs* Ha ha.  Our dog is very smart and can tell by the shoes we put on when leaving the house if he is going with us or not.  Also recently learned there are twelve different blood types found in dogs, and there is such as thing as a blood drive for dogs.
human
*opens mouth slightly* Maybe he can tutor my dog lol, and 12 different types of bloods, that's more than humans right?
gpt
I believe humans have three primary blood types, A, B, O but then each of those blood types then can be combined and also negative or positive.  I might have to take a trip to the library to find out the exact number, but pretty sure not twelve blood types in humans.
human
I see, so not as much as dogs then, its amazing how they evolved from wolves and now there are many different species around the world, dogs are loyal and that's why I like them more than cats.
gpt
*leans slightly forward* Dogs were the first animals to be domesticated and certainly found a great place in the American household.  Much different than when dogs "worked" on farms.  I work in a children's hospital and we have working dogs there to visit with the kids.  Our dog would be too rowdy and too pampered to work.
