My Phone Drowned

Sep 23

I was on the tilt-a-whirl today. You know, the one that launches you up and around and flips you upside down. Well apparently my phone fell out of my pocket during that time. Spectators said they saw it  mid swing. In other words, it launched a few hundred yards. Yeah, it’s bad. Luckily it landed softly in the water. Yeah, that’s bad too. The up-shot is that I found it. Or rather the guys who run the ride found it. They held it in a towel so it wouldn’t drip all over the place. It’s drying now. So I guess what I’m trying to say is that if you called me in the past day, understand if I don’t answer.

    Dummmmy~!! (as much as I am) Have you never ridden the tilt-a-whirl before? You should’ve put everything in the pocket into your back before board. Is your phone alright now? Are you alright? One extra memery’s added.

    My phone is not totally dead, but it doesn’t work reliably. There’s not really anybody I need to call anyway and it’s very expensive to call home form here.
