[AGL] the deaf leading the blind or maybe the other way around

[Charles Loving]

I don't even know what my number is. I spent a hour on the phone with their
people and still can't make the thing work. I never should have opted for a
smart phone. I am going to have to go back and get a flip phone since this
thing is too complicated and I actually am too fumble fingered to use a
touch screen and can't see unless I dredge up my reading glasses which are
never near the phone which lives in the truck. No service here so I have to
be in San Antonio to work on the thing and they want me to have a computer
to look at. I have a computer at the house that doesn't travel. I know I am
just a bitchy old geezer.
