A Little Smarter

On Monday during lunch I went over the the St Vincent de Paul thrift shop and they were having a big 50% off sale.  They had a locked case with electronic items and so I sifted through it.  I came across this smart phone that with the discount was only 10 bucks.  It was in a protective case and looked in general good condition so I thought I would give it a try.  I can upgrade my phone but I hate being under contract - I dunno why as I have had the same carrier since I first got a cell phone (just another odd quirk of mine).  I brought it home and got it on my wifi no problem.  Then I factory reset the phone to clear everything out, I put my number on it and uploaded my contact -- ta dah!  So now instead of being six years behind the times, I am only three which is remarkable for a man that still used VHS.  I was worried about texting on the screen because of my pudgy fingers but the talk to text feature works awesome.  I can even speak in Spanish and it writes my text in Spanish - wow technology!  I am sure they have translators where you can speak English and have the text be in Spanish but that would defeat the purpose of learning and practicing Spanish.  Any way I can do all sorts of stuff now that I could not do before and probably won't use but I can if I want.  I bet the person that owned it before me got an iphone or something but I am super glad with his hand-me-down.  Thank you kind sir!
