He got his phone back. My son called him and he told him it slid off the top of the car and he got it back. I guess I'll hear more when he gets home. He had tracked it to 3 different locations!

Ah, son tells me the screen is smashed so whoever found it couldn't read the texts or answer it.

he couldn't start the car.

Is there not an alternate method?

He had my car because it has the dog hammock in it. I do have key cards, but he didn't have one with him. We are accustomed to using the phone for access. Now that I think of it I probably could have started it remotely for him with my phone app. Didn't think of that! eta: I know I can do a bunch of stuff remotely, like advance the song on the radio just to mess with him.

Oof, Kate Middleton has cancer. Apparently the surgery was to remove a tumor and she's now undergoing chemo. The fact that it was operable is encouraging. I wonder if it was colon cancer like Jacqueline.

It does sound like that, David. I listened to her statement. Sending the ~ma her way. It is a lot for her small children to see their mom go through surgery and chemo.

My uncle was recently diagnosed with stage 4 colon cancer. This cancer thing is bullshit.

I'm still amazed at how much the royal family's publicity machine fucked this up. It would have been far, far better to stick to their story (which was pretty much true) and not run around trying to head off conspiracy theories.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Sorry about your uncle, Dana.

I was thinking it was fibroids or similar which is often major surgery but then the end of it.

I'm sorry that your uncle has this diagnosis, Dana.

The speculation now seems to be uterine or cervical found after surgery.

I was thinking maybe it was ulcerative colitis and she had to have a big chunk of intestines removed and maybe an ostomy bag. But wow.
