Eating crow is by definition not any fun at all. I guess I have to do that in relation to my rant about my new cell phone. I couldn't get it to work, and so I wrote some negative stuff about their intentions. Today I got a phone call on my regular house phone from them, and after going through the "Press One/Press Two" dealio, I talked to a nice lady from India who spoke excellent English compared to the previous agents.
After having to go through the process several times (because the battery on my phone was low and it kept rebooting itself), she talked me through the initiating process. We finally set things right, and it seems to work now.
This is the first cell phone or mobile phone I've ever had. The reasoning has nothing to do with not accepting new technology, I've got a phobia about using telephones of any sort. There is a learning curve I'll have to endure to get the idea of using cell phones down pat. For one thing, I'll have to learn about keeping the battery charged so it will do right when I try to use it.
Having a phone with me when I leave the house will surely be a completely different experience than I'm used to ere now. I plan to eventually get a smartphone that has GSP and internet capabilities, but this phone will do to get me over the hump with the mobility it offers.
It's another fairly warm day. Not as warm as yesterday when the temperature got up almost to 80° (2.667° C), but warm enough for me to lay out in the sun practically naked for an hour or so. That was nice.
The world seems to have gone crazy. Maybe it's the Sun flares. Who knows. Riots for all kinds of reasons, and I suspect it's gonna get worse. The six o'clock news reports about all the individual states declaring they are broke and have to lay off a bunch of teachers and state workers by the thousands.
They must be heart-broken. The security of a government job is why a lot of them aimed for the jobs they going to have to leave. There is a lot of hard feelings toward the politicians who seem to care less as long as they get their check. A check many of them don't need because they were already rich.
I was really surprised the last time I checked the program that keeps up with how many visitors I get on the site. In the last 3-4 months the subscriptions has quadrupled. Thanks!

I do not attempt to tell the God's own truth here because I don't know what the truth is or hardly ever. I try to capture the drifting thoughts that randomly appear in my imagination for reasons I may not understand. I don't know if the content I capture with these words is true or false. The Comments settings are turned off to prevent me from having to defend what amounts to little more than fanciful, sometime crude speculation. Great moments in our lives never return.
