We are finally joining the 21st century when it comes to technology. One of the phone companies has erected a cell tower just outside of town, and the word is it should be programmed and ready for service on July 1.
Our cell reception has been spotty until now. You could make calls by going to the edge of town where there is a hill, or standing on top of your truck (ask David how we know this), or by standing on certain street corners (ask Sunshine how we know this.) There are actually a few places in town where one could receive or make a call, but it takes moving around, standing by the laundry room window, or on the back porch, and a few other places. The town sits down in a wide hole, surrounded by hills. That could also be the reason there has not been a tornado touch down near since 1968.
Ok, now to buy a cell phone. We are considering the Jitterbug. No bells or whistles, no internet connection, no camera, no texting, just phone calls period. Why get bogged down with all this technology when I still have to get Haley to help me with MySpace and Twitter.
Oh by the way, I will not use the cell phone while driving. or roam WalMart with one stuck to my ear all the time I am shopping, or try to impress others with my newest status symbol.
