Not Smart Enough to Own a Smartphone

Yesterday afternoon, I was making my typical commute home from work (did I mention I started a new job this week?). I was almost to my exit when I happened to notice something off to the side of the road. As I drove past it, I realized it was a young kitten, and it was panting hard. The temp was over 100, and I can't even imagine what it was on the asphalt. Oh, and all of this was taking place on the tollway with cars going over 70 mph!

Anyway, I couldn't just leave it there. Luckily I was in the far left lane and could easily pull over. I noticed that the lady behind me just stopped completely in the middle of the tollway because the kitten had started walking into traffic. I was able to grab the kitten from underneath her car, certain that it was on death's door. My main concern was heat stroke, so I went to my car to see if I had any water. Unfortunately, I didn't.

So, at this point you might be thinking...why are you telling me about a cat when your title is about a phone? Don't worry, I'm getting to that. As I went to look for the water, I put my iPhone on top of the car. Do you see where we're going here? Yep, I decided to just take the kitten to my house and assess it there. Without thinking, I shut the door, eased back into traffic and set off for home. I heard a thud, but still not a thought about the phone until I pulled into my garage. Ugh!!

Let me introduce you to my new iPhone, or as I like to call him, iCat! Actually, I just found a home for him tonight and will deliver him next weekend. And until further notice, don't try to call!!

Random Thoughts

As to the question at the top of the page...evidently, not very much!! I'm still trying to get into a blogging groove, but every time I come here, all of my witty dialogue goes out the door.

Speaking of going out the door -- I don't want to. People, it is hot outside. We're looking at breaking a record on Saturday with consecutive days above 100. I mean if we're going to suffer like this, we might as well get to break a record, right?

I went to the grocery store this morning to buy my brother's birthday present. His birthday was yesterday. I win "Sister of the Year" award, for sure. Anyway, I was using the self-check kiosk, but had to wait forever for the attendant to clear up something on my machine. Why? Because she was scanning someone else's entire basket of groceries AND putting in his money. Kind of defeats the purpose of self-check, doesn't it? I hate it when someone chooses to use the self-check and has absolutely NO.IDEA.HOW. TO.USE.IT!!

Sadly, that's all I got. How about showing some comment love?! Stay cool (literally and figuratively)!!
