Re: OT: cell phones

LOL - it's all about balance.  I'd go nuts w/out my email and the Ya-Ya's
love that I have a cell phone.
I get news online but still love to read the paper and there's something so
tactile and satisfying about reading a BOOK.  If I travelled a lot, the
Kindle thing would be handy.  But I'm a home body.  And I'm going to contact
the City of Galveston, I'm sure their library was wiped out last September
and see if they would like the stacks of books I need to pass on to someone
else.  I'm betting they'll be glad to have them, mostly history and classics
- good STUFF.  Oh and if the power goes off, I can still read - LOL.  No
batteries or electricity required!
