Gotta Love Technology

Dean lost his phone. Siri - or whatever the process is that does such things - told him it was in the middle of the road between our house and the grocery. Off we went and sure enough just a little ways down the main road into town, there was his phone lying in the middle of the street. Both the phone and Dean were almost run over as he tried to retrieve it. Neither happened and the phone is safe and sound.

And how did that happen, you may ask. Well, Dean's phone travels in a little case that has a magnet that closes the case into his pocket. In the grocery store,  he had gotten very hot and left to take his jacket to the car. He took off the jacket and as he did, the magnet must have pulled the phone case from his jacket pocket onto the side of the car. Neither of us noticed it as we were finishing loading the car. Driving home, the wind finally loosened the case enough that it fell off the car and into the road. Thank goodness it fell on the dividing line so it wasn't directly under the wheels of on-coming cars. Following Siri's good instructions, we drove right to the phone, Dean pulled over, got out and rescued the phone. You gotta love technology!!
