A few weeks ago, in preparation for our trip, Bob bought a new cellphone to replace his 4-year-old phone. The new phone -- not "smart" -- was similar to the old one, but the menu was a layer or so less deep and the camera produced good pictures after a couple of clicks. Oh yes, the sound quality was a great improvement and, of course, a new battery stays charged a lot longer.
Note the use of the past tense. Late this afternoon we went for a swim. As he got out of the pool, Bob felt his pocket vibrating. Oh oh. It was not a call. Just a warning. The cell phone was dripping wet. Chris gave Bob detailed instructions on the rice treatment (bury phone in rice, which will absorb the water in the phone). We have no rice, and did not head out to buy any. The phone was separated from its battery and both are now drying out.
Just in case, I looked up Verizon Wireless and VW suppliers. I foresee a trip to Best Buy tomorrow.
