Talk

Dogpatch has been a little crowded this weekend. Those relying on only a cell phone for communication have been tested. Several hundred young active wake boarders and their friends have descended on our lake for Bro-Stock Championship Competition. We have avoided the lake since I much prefer a gentler ride than can be enjoyed with all the speed boats and the wake boards in tow whipping up the wake. Weather was perfect for the spectacle. Little wind and lots of sun assured the best view for those watching the competition or those watching the crowd. Pretty much every visitor came equipped with a cell phone and constant texting or talking capability. At our Saturday morning breakfast (which used three times the normal allotted time), Sis in law was completely flustered by her inability to reach the dog groomer where the four legged kid had been deposited for a fresh new look. I seldom worry about such things as functional cell phone. Mine is used more for games and those can usually wait. We have a land line and if you know the number or can access information, we can always be reached. Maybe that's why we live in Dogpatch....we like things just a little old fashioned.
