Digital, Analog, Hard Copy, and Stubborn
April 26th, 2008 Posted by: Tilly
Welcome back!
Just wrote something. Duh! Talk about stating the obvious, HA. If you are reading this of course you already know that more than one blog has been put down today.
In my previous blog I mentioned being a novice or beginner in blogging. Yes, I like to talk, it is pretty obvious with all that has been written by me lately. All of the digital devices that are available today can be wondrous in what they can do. However, I had a recent reminder about the fragility of such devices. In our town we had apparently, 2 tornadoes that passed through. Thank God mostly passed through. I tried to called a friend that travels on a certain highway where they had recently had an accident, couldn’t get through to make sure that he was OK. Got very frustrated (GRRRRR) did not know why I could not make a phone call. I was afraid that with all the internet stuff that I did, had gotten a virus into the phone.
Totally lost all reception couldn’t reach anyone. The camera part worked great. Got a few pictures of the big hail stones, but no phone calls. Never realized that a tornado could interfere with a cell phone. Right then would have loved a land line. Of course I didn’t know if any land lines went down though. After the storm passed, the phone worked again. A learning experience that I could have done without.
The phone was digital, any land lines are analog, I’m hard copy, and the tornado was stubborn. I survived, the phone survived, I guess the land lines survived, the tornado went away finally. Prayer does work Thank God.

I see those huge hail stones … wow … I was in San Antonio while that was going on but was worried about my family. I called my sis but she was fine … we live in North Temple and didn’t get that much except heavy rain and wind. I was also concerned for Ron’s mom and was glad to find out that the tornado was not really close to her. The whole thing was truly a phenomenon for this area, although the weather here gets stranger and stranger as time goes by. I am glad there was no damage where you life either. One of the girls who was with us in San Antonio got a call from her husband stating he was in the bathtub with a mattress over him for protection … of course she was very worried … but it did not touch down there … just lots of wind … and a scary time for all.
