Intuitive computer...

I was sitting at our desktop computer with my phone on the desk. The speakers crackled and a second later, I got a message. "Interesting, " I thought to myself. So I sent a text back and set my phone on the desk again. The speakers crackled again and then my phone started to ring. So apparently some cell waves crackle my computer speakers right before my phone chirps.

On Sunday, our ward had the Primary Sacrament Meeting Program. So the kids looked especially nice and ready for church and they all decided they needed a snack. I didn't want their church clothes to become soiled moments before heading out the door, so I made them all wear their aprons. Jack's apron made him look like a little, professional chef.



And lastly on my rambling post, the Tahoe needed new tires. I don't really want to buy new tires right now so I wanted Merril to find a set of used, cheaper tires. So he tells me what he really wants is a set of new, Nitto Dune Grappler tires because they have flames going down the sidewalls as illustrated here:


I informed him that he was not allowed to get new dune grapplers and that I just needed something used, cheap, and gets me down the road. So he comes home the other day and says, "You'll never guess what I found on KSL.com!" Oh great. He found a set of half-tread dune grapplers. When I raised an eyebrow, he said, "I swear they were the only set of 20-inch truck tires on KSL or Craig's List and they were a steal!" What a stinker.

Yeah, the data waves going to cell phones cause speakers to crackle. That is why when I lived in Arizon and had to appear in court, the judges had a rule that cell phones/Blackberrys had to be off, not just in silent mode, because it would case all of the speakers in the courtroom to crackle when someone's cell phone/Blackberry was receiving data.
