Hope your phone still works! I have done that before. I started running, and when I started it was sunny, then out of not where it started hailing!! My phone was soaked. I was glad it worked to call a ride though!
I've had that happen before!! Thanks for your comment. A friend of ours set the trap. Then he took him up in the mountains and let him go up there. This is the third racoon we caught! I definatly don't want to keep him!
hey there! i just read your comment about our AWANA post. i'm still trying to figure out how to use the new blogger. i am the awana secretary this year although i am not super organized! eric is the director for TNT Boys. we help each other out with our duties! we figured since we have three in the program we should help! it's a great way to spend our time.
Ugh...friends, it started to downpour like a torrential rain. Remember, I live in the tropics. REALLY in the tropics, as in a rain forest. I zipped my phone into the handlebar pouch of my B.O.B. that is supposed to me made of water proof material. I didn't realize the water had started to pool in the few seconds before I zipped it closed and my phone sat in a little teeny puddle. I pushed my phone to the bottom, thinking it wouldn't get the water coming through the top, if any should get through the material. I was soaked, the baby was soaked, even with the ginourmous shade of the stroller, made of the crazy thick water proof material. We were at least nearly a mile from my house. I got home and my cell was crackling. The screen rotated itself. It was bad. Anywho.....after blow drying it and leaving the battery our for hours, it works! I still have a year on my contract and I didn't want to get a new phone yet. Man, I am eyeing the G1, though!!!!
About the rainy season in Hawaii...Rainy season in HI is Nov to March...but we ease into it slowly when it is no longer dry all of the time, with torrential down pours that become more common. The stronger wet season accounts for the change in weather patterns and perfect surf competition conditions. The change in weather causes 15 to 30 foot waves. This is why our North Shore is home to the biggest surf competitions in the world!!!
I am the mother of three active and affectionate little boys, ages 6, 3, and 1. They are truly gifts. I love life as a boy mom. I am honored that God has called me to raise future husbands. I hope they grow up to be just like their daddy, Dr. Romance. We met in an elevator in college. He has a PhD in Something Important, but I call him Dr. Romance. We were married on the Fourth of July twelve years ago just so we could call those fireworks "ours." We are living in the Boston area through June, while Dr.Romance is working at Harvard. We call ourselves the "uncommons" as a play on the Boston Common site, because we are from the land of palm trees and all things laid back. I hold a B.A. in History from UCLA, a teaching credential from CSUN, and an M.Ed. in Administration and Supervision from UVA. Those are my lesser accomplishments. Most importantly I love Jesus.
That's hysterical! But what a comment on our modern world.
ReplyDeleteOh No! But you've found a new use for your hairdryer! Hope it worked!

ReplyDeleteY'all, it worked! I had my doubts after my screen turned black and rotated itself, and all of the snap, crackle, pops, but blow drying worked!!!!!
ReplyDeleteNo rain no gain
