Time for a New Phone!

~ Jim Flanigan

I’m starting to think about getting a new cell phone which means that I should get one within the next 2 to 3 years. I tend to take my time on big decisions like that. The hot new phones on the market are flip phones. Wait, what? Didn’t we do flip phones already? Ah, but these have foldable glass, like the new Samsung Galaxy Z Flip.

I got news for Samsung. Glass doesn’t fold. If it did, I wouldn’t have a nasty scar on the bottom of my foot from when I stepped on a fish bowl. Long story.

And isn’t it going to be hard to touch those icons that are in the fold unless you have tiny fingers?

Anyone who tells me climate change is not real gets the same treatment.

RESIST! by Phone

~ Jim Flanigan

I received this Emergency Presidential Alert on my phone the other day. As if I needed an alert to know we have an emergency in the country surrounding the presidency.

I have resisted confirming it. I’m hoping that somewhere in the Trump administration, there is someone confused and concerned as to why I am not confirming receipt. RESIST! 

Random Thoughts for a Rainy Day

~ Jim Flanigan

What better time is it to explore the depths of my reportedly absent mind than a rainy day? So without further ado (and further adon’t), I offer you another edition of my Random Thoughts.

My dog is now losing her puppy teeth.

Does that mean a new necklace for my wife is in her future?
