Sunny today but cool breeze blowing. Still no cell phone. We did order one though. This is funny. We found a phone in the phone store that is exactly like what I already have. What I have has the wrong type of ‘card’ in it and won’t work here. But this new one will work everywhere. We decided to go with this phone because I already have all the accessories for it so there’ll be no extra expenses. The batteries, chargers, covers and instructions are all the same and the charger has a transformer on it so either phone will charge in either country. They had to order it from another store though, so it won’t arrive until Thursday.
An idea whose time has come: The intersections that don’t have a circle, do have a traffic light. Unlike the monster light posts, with lights you can see from every direction, in the US, the ones here are small and unobtrusive. The one big charm of these lights is that they discourage those annoying people who creep forward anticipating the light change. You see, the light post that faces you is on the right hand curb on your side of the street. You have to look out your right side window to watch it and if you move forward beyond the limit line you can no longer see the light. I’ve done this out of habit several times and then all you can do is wait for the guy behind you to start honking obscenely to let you know the light is green or take your chances when the cross traffic appears to have stopped.
Baking banana muffins, but oven is Celsius. What’s the conversion again? F - 32 x 5/9 or F - 32 x 9/16…
