  I had to be on Main Street and I was on another one, one block over. Once
I got over to Main Street things were fine.

  He forgot to remove his name when he took down the numbers.

  When I got to Denver to see a friend there, he was at work, he acted like
I just stepped out of the room than several years since we last saw each
other.
  Now I have known James for years and we both have a strange sense of
humour.
  After visiting a couple of hours I said I had best be on the road and
sort of stood there a minute, figuring I would be asked to stay for dinner.  He
wished me well and returned to work.
  Several days passed.
  I was in East Texas or western Louisiana and called a friend to say I
would be in his town around a certain time.
  Then noticed I had missed a call from James so called him back.
  He said his wife Karin was highly upset I hadn't been invited to stay for
dinner, how rude, etc. and he wanted to apologize then added "but as I told
Karin if he comes to dinner he'll stay on for several days".  LOL

  When I was in Syracuse I was shown the Destiny Mall.  (I'm not a mall
person but did enjoy it).
  I found an Apple store and stopped in to find out why my text tone
stopped worked.  
  The first guy swiped this way and that, pushed this and that button,
swiped again, had my host (who was standing by us) text me with the clerk
saying
it was working.
  Nothing.
  He swiped this way and that, pushed buttons and still nothing.
  He called over another clerk who did the same thing.
  Nothing.
  He just handed the phone back to me saying I would have either data or
wifi on all the time, thanked me and walked away.
  (I pay for data and wifi not always available).
  So, I guess that's just another feature of that phone.  
  Oh, and it take a day before a text arrives and often get a undeliverable
message when I send one.
