Phones

Kim's cell phone has been dying so she has to plug it in the wall to talk. She was hoping to get a battery for her phone at Fry's. She just called me from Fry's. They don't have batteries for her phone. She talked to me on an internet phone which has "free" service. The phone costs $215. My blood pressure shot up. Dang it. It's just a stupid battery! Last time this happened, she went to the mall and they said her phone was out-of-date and didn't speak the "new tower protocol" which somehow explained the fuzzy dropouts. This one is screwed up too --- so screwed up that she went back to the one which didn't speak the "new tower protocol". What a joke!

Then Mark e-mailed me wondering if I'd seen his phone.

Dare I mention "The Flood" where the cell phone was zapped because of the torrents of rain!?!? Not to mention our car drowning...

We don't have a "land line", so our communication systems are down... except for good ole e-mail. Wait... watch that cable!

Really, all I have to do is walk outside to see if Anonymous' garage is open. It's that simple :)

The phone dujour will be the "Free" phone given with a contract signing, about a year after they came out. Akzo gives us these. Then, they're not cool anymore.
