I found a cellphone in the road yesterday while at a stop sign.

No one was around to return it to, so I picked it up. When I got to work

I punched a button and the screen displayed, it had 9 circles in a 3 x 3

array. I recently learned this is a password type thing that you swipe a

pattern in to open the phone. So I decided I'd just need to wait for it

to ring. The first time it rang a big green circle with a handset

inside, alright, I pushed it, "hello, hello" no one there. Awhile later

it rang again, same thing no one there.

I walked up to where there were some young people, and ask how to answer

the phone. I was told to try swiping the big green button.

The next time it rang, it was the owners wife, she was relieved to find

the phone safe. The relieved husband picked it up later. He offered me a

handful of change as if it was the last money he had.



I sent him on his way just happy that I learned how to answer a phone.

Cool. Tell Tim. He lost his. Or, was it Tim that picked it up? Big guy, kinda looks like a grizzly?

LOL! I doubt it is mine. My phone was a beat up old Motorola LG flip-phone. Nothing magic about it.

Anyhow, I'm graduating up to the wife's "old" phone, because she went to the verizon store and got herself a new iphone. Bad thing is it takes some hours to download all her pics and general stuff over to her new one.

So, I'm still out of the phone business for a while.

Hated to lose all my phone contacts though....
