I don’t know if you’ve been watching the news, but we inhabitants of southeast Texas have been experiencing some mild rain showers the past few days. Apparently Houstonians had it much worse than us.

This article, about our growing propensity to hang up the phone without saying good-bye, reminded me of a friend’s mother who was probably the most ill-mannered telephone user I ever knew.
