Who needs a cel phone anyway?


I do. At least that's the way I felt Tuesday morning when I realized that I left it on a sidewalk bench in Lynden Monday night. I ate breakfast wondering whether anyone would have seen it - whether there were enough kindly, honest people in Lynden that might wait for "the" phone call, or if one of those daily bus-junkies would have seen it and tossed it into the bushes.

Ten minute drive into Lynden and no phone. I remembered exactly where I'd left it. (no, i'm not telling you). Arriving at my office I spent 5 minutes calling the phone hoping there'd be an answer. Nope. Waited 5 minutes and rang it again. Lynden Police. "We found your phone" - when can you pick it up?

So... the Lynden Police do a decent job, eh? A foot patrol found it overnight - and left it to ring in their office.

That's better than dropping the phone in water. I've learned that cel phones don't work under water.

I'll come up with more creative ways to damage or lose my phone yet.

Ah...this story is so...so, near to me. I mean, it may not be a cell phone--those are easier to locate...an important flash drive is another story altogether....*snif*
