Good morning world

It's a beautiful morning and all the windows are open. Some little Cuban sparrows in the trees across the canal are singing and out the window next to my desk I've seen a couple of white egrets cruising the length of the canal this morning.

I missed seeing this yesterday...

I had one of those. It was a big improvement over the transportable cell phone that I had before that.

The Simon phone was way ahead of its time.

Good morning. Just another big week this week. So glad that the end of the week balanced out $ wise at the end. Going into Friday night I was a little scared. Worked out in the end.

Time to build build build.

I had some panasonic phone that was like a mini suitcase with an antenna and phone. It was only to be used in emergency and if the family was calling. Sucked always having to luge that bitch around. I'll see if later I can dig up a photo. Primary device back then was still my motorola beeper. God the number of different codes at the end of numbers to some what understand what was going on before you tried to find a phone. hehe.

have a good one.
