Tales from the train - Gadgetry or Tools^^10?

So I am riding the train early this morning and my Verizon card did
not recognize my password so would not let me access the Internet. I
switched over to my Kindle to read about the AIG bail-out of course
while listening to Garth Brooks CD on my I-pod playing on the I-phone.
While reading I accessed information about AIG from Wikipedia using
the I-phone application I had downloaded for 99 cents from the I-tunes
store.

After learning that AIG had over a trillion dollars in assets (had
being the key word) I went back to the Times article and finished
reading. Then some email all before losing the signal in the tunnel
approaching Penn Station.

Gadgetry or tools? You judge. Tunnel approaching...

Cid as in El Cid. By the way, he eats crickets or mealy worms fed to him live.

Summer's End at Island Beach State Park

This is just one phone-pic of the day we spent at Island Beach State Park. We arrived early on Labor Day Monday as the day before we got shut out when the park filled up. By driving as far south as you can find a parking space you get to claim a section of beach for your own. The waves were 5-0 style, well, at least as 5-0 as you will see in Central NJ without a hurricane and the beach has powdery white sand. All-in-all an amazing day!
