Where Am I?

Since I was early for a doctors appointment I experimented with my location services on my phone yesterday. I had tried it at home before but since my subdivision is new and not on any of the internet maps yet, I really couldn't say if it was accurate. It looked pretty darned close but hard to tell when the dot on the map is in terrain. Anyway, it took about six seconds to zero in on my location and it was accurate. Very accurate. I was surprised to see that it was accurate up to which parking space I was in.

The Hateful Thing

I was flipping channels the other night and came across an episode of Night Gallery that included a short at the end titled "The Doll." This one has frightened me since I originally saw it in the 70s. I do not like dolls in real life and have had a couple of recurring nightmares involving dolls throughtout my life. I recorded the short on the DVR so my wife could enjoy the episode the next day. She didn't enjoy it all.

Talking On The Typewriter

My Oldest One started school back on July 18 and is attending a new middle school. Obviously she's made some new friends by the amount of time she spends texting on her cell phone. Last night after dinner, she kept receiving messages and in turn sent replies back. I asked if the messages were coming from multiple persons and she said no, just one person. Since they had already sent about twenty messages in a span of fifteen minutes I asked wouldn't it be easier to just call them and talk on the phone? Her reply was no, they don't like talking. I don't get it.
