Indulgent Rant

Nothing like fighting Phone first thing in the morning. I grab Phone for a quick check of the weather and the 'quick' part didn't happen. After several attempts and some very uncharitable thoughts I finally get on site. But, the site I use hasn't updated. Ok, it can wait. I snap a couple WIP's to choose from when I start my Good Morning, I Love You, Front Porch Report, aka this rant I'm indulging in. Then, I come back inside sit down and try to check the weather again. "You are offline" Phone tells me. First off, I am NOT the one OFFLINE you blasted Buzz Box!! That would be you! I checked the connections and, by golly gee, what does it say? It says "CONNECTED"! Don't try to lay this one on me!! Second, I am old enuf to remember that I actually CAN live without you, and would be more than willing to do so, if you don't STRAIGHTEN UP!! Wait a sec! Ok, the site has updated. I think. 30°,  88% humidity, calm winds and fair skies. What... The info is EXACTLY the same as last hour. Except for the time stamp. Hey! We-Gues! Get the lead out! Wake up and actually CHECK the weather! Now I have a headache. That was tiring. I'm gonna go to work exhausted now. I'm starting to think Phones are the bane of existence. Toodles, my Fellow Travelers. May the many banes of existence never visit your doorstep, and the rants in your life be very few. They are an unsightly, headache causing waste of precious moments. Moments you can't ever get back and do over. Te quiero, Travelers!!
