And unfortunately it was not the best all around.
Oh it wasn't that bad for me, but for some of my
family:
Last Monday a cousin to a sister in law was swept
away in a flash flood and tragically drowned. She
was in her car when it was washed off the road and
called 911, was on the phone for 4 minutes before
it went dead. Her last minutes were described in
great detail - her panic, her anguish, her unknowing
of what to do. The media really went into this in
great detail. Hopefully it will help save someone
at some point, and it will be a good thing, otherwise
there is no obvious good in sharing the last few moments
of this person's life in such a way. Sometimes
it was better before cell phones!
And this was the second tragedy I heard about in
a matter of about two weeks - as around mid February
a fire claimed the life of 3 small children and
a 24 year old babysitter. The babysitter was on
the phone with 911 when she perished, and her last
minutes of life were shared openly. Again, sometimes
it's better not to know things......
DISH Network installed their services last Thursday.
As much as I watch TV, a converter box would do, but
the others in the household seem ecstatic over the
new lineup of channels.
I finalized one of the summer trips, and booked our
flight and room for Vegas in July - yay!
