Vol. XXI

Of be careful who you laugh at.

Once again on Thurs night, someone regaled us w/ stories of his daughter's text usage w/ her cell phone. The number of texts was outrageous, 3,000 the first month or so. The family had unlimited texting in their plan.

You may recall, M has a new cell phone w/ my carrier - SpeakOut, a 7-11 service. And I recently, inherited a first gen. I-phone.
On Saturday, we wiped the memory clean on her cell phone b/c she couldn't call or send texts from the phone's directory.
We sat to-gether and played w/ the new phone until her directory got re-loaded. She wanted to practice sending a text.

You got it. There we are sending messages back and forth, such as ' its me ' or ' yes, got it '.
No, we didn't come close to 3000.

Alabama came close to giving Coach Saban a heart attack. The Tide barely held off a tenacious and talented Georgia team ( hate Georgia ). The boys in Crimson are off to play Notre Dame, that much vaunted bastion of college football.
Last year, in St Pte Bch, I was wearing my Alabama T-shirt and strangers were calling out " Roll Tide " as they saw the name. Ala had just won the National Championship.

OK  ROLL TIDE

Weather : we got warm and rain. The difference in temperature between yesterday and to-day is 12 F things.

All right , as in the song " How's the world treating you ? "
