A Story

Hubbie relates his morning.

He bought a new phone yesterday morning, and this morning he decides to try it. So he takes his GSM card from his old phone, (which was working fine, by the way) and plugs it into the new phone.
And he waits.
And waits.
But no reception.
He tries all kinds of things, pushes all kinds of buttons, reads the manual, but to no avail.
No reception.
So he bought a new phone that’s broken from the start.

Frustrated, he takes out the GSM card and puts it back in his old phone.
What do you know! No reception either. Goddang, now my card is ruined, he thinks.
He waits and waits, and suddenly, after 6 minutes, he’s got reception. Aha, it works!
So let’s check the new phone again. Just to make sure.

He switches cards again.

He waits and waits.
No reception.
Tired of it all, he puts it back in the old phone and wants to call the helpdesk.

But now the old phone doesn’t have any reception either. Not even after 6 minutes. Or 10 minutes.
He checks his other (business) line.
No reception either.

Suddenly a little bell starts to ring (inside his head).
Let’s check the news.
He turns on the TV.

And indeed, and explosion.

It blocks the mobile phone net every time.

Well, at least my sunsets and sunrises remain constant.Beirut, January 25, 17:32 P.M. (a little after sunset)

Beirut, January 23, 06:32 A.M. (a little before sunrise)

I already posted the sunrise a couple of days ago, but now you have a sunset to go with it.
