70 mph Wild Shot

Took this shot driving 70 mph down the interstate to the Apple store 2 hours away after work Friday. Forgot all about getting a shot to blip before I traveled ,so when I stopped for gas I hooked up the remote shutter release, set the camera on the dash, and clicked my way down the highway. Expected more motion blur.

If anything can go wrong, it will

Have I mentioned I live by "Murphy's Law?"

My iphone had been without sound for 2 weeks for calls. Actually, the sound was fine for the first 20 seconds of a call and thereafter, I could hear the person on the other end but they couldn't hear me. Do you think I could remember this? Oh, how attached we are to our cell phones... like an extension of the extremity that holds it. For 2 weeks every call has been something like this:

Haircuts for the boys calling Younker's Salon
Younker's Girl: "Hello... Younker's Salon... how may I help you?"
Me: "I'd like to make haircut appointments with Lindsey for my two sons"
Younker's Girl: "What day are you looking for?"
Me: "Thursday or Friday... after school"
Younker's Girl: "Hello...hello?...hello?...hellooooo?"

CLICK!

I've been hung up on more than Heinz has pickles in the last 2 weeks. I had to borrow a phone to make calls about the phone.

Called my cell provider only to discover my warranty was out 30 days ago. Thank you Murphy. Went through all the ins and outs of restoring the phone to resolve the issue without success. Thank you Murphy. Called all around town to get a new phone. On backorder. 2-4 weeks to come in. Thank you Murphy. Called the Apple store 2 hours away, reserved an appointment for a new phone and hit the road. Arrived for my 8:10 pm appointment at 8:10 pm to hear them say, "We just sold our last phone". I laughed... "You guys have a sense of humor, too."--- He was serious. "But, I called first and made an appointment to get this new phone." The response... "Did you ask to reserve a phone?"

Are you kidding me? Thank you Murphy.

Kindly with daggers in my eyes I informed them again that I had called first and made an "appointment" to get a "new phone" and just drove "2 hours" to get here... for an "appointment" for a "new phone." His response... "Let me just check with the manager a minute".

I got a new phone.

Thank you God.

PS. I'm happy to be done texting like a teenager.
