I did not think I would really benefit by changing to a smart phone, and my friends and colleagues kept telling me I would wonder how I got along without it. They were right! A perfect example occurred tonight. I missed the local weather when I got home from work, and quickly fed the cats and headed out to meet some friends for dinner.
On the way, I watched a small cloud cell approach Lubbock. Before I went into the restaurant, I checked the local weather, and saw that the front was still miles away, and moving East, so probably the heaviest part of the weather would pass North of us.
After dinner, we went to the Barnes and Noble http://www.barnesandnoble.com/ Mystery Book Club. I checked the local weather again before I went into Barnes and Noble. During our book club, one of the members had the local weather on her Ipad or tablet. This allowed us to keep an eye on the weather: There was concern for serious, damaging weather, which did not develop, at least yet.
Checking the weather, the storms have now moved to the South and East, and will, for now, miss Lubbock. Oh well. At least I can keep on top of it!
