i'm not sure about GPS so much as they can track the general vicinity by which tower is being used to place the call.

Thanks, everyone, for the kind words! I'm about to hit the hay, but man, what an amazing day.
Oh, and I saw that y'all were talking about the guy who walked a tightrope between the WTC towers in 1974. His name is Philippe Petit and I wrote a chunk of text about him for my yet-unfinished 33 1/3 book.

Now tagless for your comfort.
I thought I read that you can call 911 from a landline even if you don't have service. I know you can do that from a cell phone. But I'm curious about the landline thing. I should find out, since we ditched our.
If it's true, I should also get out our old phone and maybe plug it in somewhere.

It is still true according to the folks at the hospital. It takes longer to backtrace cell calls, I think because they are looking at the tower.
I'm so tired of my life right now that I can barely stand it. As Allyson would quote at me, Can't fix it, gotta stand it. But I don't have much energy to do either right now.
Feh. oh well. I am doing a ton of reading right now. What not to read when you are knee deep in the blues? A Long Way Gone. I'm presenting at a conference in November where he will be the keynote.

Corwood, great catching! Congrats! DH just said, "Whoa! That would have scared the shit out of me!"
Thanks, Kat. I'll have to dig out that old phone, just in case. Sorry about the craptasticness.

Thanks, Cashmere. Craptasticness seems to be par for the course. I do have Harold and Kumar from Netflix which might at least make me laugh.

That is an excellent choice for the funnies. I hope it can make you laugh.

Matt Damon was quite cute on the Daily Show. I am so looking forward to that movie!
