  • Fun story:

    Be me in 2019 on a flight somewhere between Texas & DC. My phone is most assuredly on airplane mode. I have an idea pop into my head and I want to text someone in Maryland about it, so out of curiosity I start texting them while I’m in airplane mode. We were chatting on Google Hangouts I think it’s an obsolete app now but the icon was like this " one set of quotation marks in green, if you remember that app. From my location in an airplane at maximum cruising altitude I was able to have a full chat conversation with someone hundreds of miles away on the ground while my phone was in airplane mode. 🤷🏼‍♀️ How that was possible will forever be a mystery to me.

    I once had a 22 Mile round trip bicycle commute and there were absolutely no buses or trains or any type of public transport available from point A to point b. I finally had to quit that job in the thick of winter when snow made bicycling impossible, but before I quit, I got there walking/ running for a couple months.
