On another note, there was a brief mention in the Minneapolis Star Tribune a few days ago of a woman who committed suicide by jumping off a Saint Paul bridge into the Mississippi River. The body was brought to shore by a kayaker. I don't have the name of the kayaker or any other details.

My Motorola E815 cell finally succumbed to that phone's fatal flaw -- the recharger interface -- and had to be replaced. I found this butt-ugly Casio http://www.verizonwireless.com/b2c/store/controller?item=phoneFirst&acti on=viewPhoneDetail&selectedPhoneId=2995 at Verizon that claims to be "... engineered to perform, designed to last, and built to survive, it can handle just about anything you throw its' [sic] way. It's able to withstand the penetrating elements of rain, humidity and even submersion. It is ruggedized, shock resistant and ready to be dropped. Dust resistant, the keypad stays clean, sturdy and fully operational even in the meanest of desert conditions." (No TV, no Internet, no email, no stereo surround sound. My kind of phone.) Arrived last night, so I'll approach technological competence with it before year's end. Caveat: I have no connection with Casio or Verizon -- other than as a customer -- but I'm anxious for all kayakers to go out and buy one so the odds will be better for someone else to do the first actual immersion tests!
