I went on a quest today, for the necessary accessories for my new cell phone. It came with a wall charger, but no car charger. And it is pretty and new and . . . fragile. So, I was determined that I needed a case for it, to protect it from . . . me. Remember, the phone it replaces was the Nextel phone developed for construction sites and military settings—it was practically indestructable. This one . . . not so much!
So, remembering that the case I wanted was available at Best Buy, that’s where I headed. I bought a car charger there, but the case was twenty bucks, and left it in the store. The Sprint store sells the same clear plastic case in a two-pack with a silver one for twenty bucks! So, I went to the Sprint store. They didn’t have it. I went to Radio Shack. They didn’t have it. I drove across Arlington, to the big Sprint store and they didn’t have it!
I was frustrated and had just about resigned myself to having to order what I wanted online and wait for it to come (they called the Mansfield store and found out they didn’t have it,either!), when one of the employees discovered what I was looking for on a sales desk. Whew! Happy, I gave them money and pointed the truck toward home.
Between the Radio Shack and the second Sprint store, I drove down Collins Street, and was again amazed at how that neighbourhood has changed. I snapped this photo of the dominant object known by some as the JerryDome, while driving. Not too bad, considering.

Hi Marita Beth, remember me? Kim from Eastern Onion. Isn’t the universe small and wonderful? I love the internet. It makes the world such a flash-thought away. I googled Marita Beth, cause I had a dream about you, and found your happy face. I live in Flower Mound, via Saudi Arabia. Married for almost 24 years to Brian. Two wonderful kids in college. Call me sometime. (number edited for privacy-MB)
And once again, The Daily KRuMB gets a comment that makes my day! I’ll call you, Kim!

For obvious reasons, I am not a fan of this picture! LOL
