Journal, August 18th

3:30

Nothing going on tonight, probably catch up on the DVR.  I know, you’re shocked.

Cheri and I are both really getting tired of the poor network that AT&T provides.  I keep getting texts that don’t send so I have to resend them.  We both get phone calls that go straight to voicemail without our phones even ringing.  I’m starting to wonder if paying the extra $100 a month might be worth it to go back to Verizon.  I hate paying their price but they do have the best service.

While reading the local police blotter, I came across this.

If you’ve ever asked how drunk you have to be to drive without tires, apparently .07 is drunk enough for the guy above.  I would have blocked out his name but let’s face it, it was already in the paper so I’m not really hurting anyone any more than he already has.

10:00

I got a phone call from my brother around 6 this evening, asking me to let his dogs out.  He ended up staying at work a little later and then when he got off, something came up and he wasn’t going home right away.  I don’t mind doing it, he doesn’t live real far away, neither does my mom who asks us to do the same all the time.  Like I said, I don’t mind doing it, but it reminds me why I like cats.  You can go away for a weekend and not have to worry about her.

I also got into a couple of conversations on Twitter, and then blogged about it, you can check that out here –> Phone Wars.

What I clicked on to read today.  I read all kinds of things in my Feedly, but these I found in other places or a link in Feedly.
