Skype at night

So I went to dinner with my nephew David, somewhere in Henderson, south on Boulder Highway somewhere and I left my cell phone on the table at a Chinese restaurant, name unknown. So now I'm out at the boondock site at Government Wash, packing up for an early leave in the morning and NO PHONE. FUCK!
So I emailed my nephew to figure out where we had eaten and to have him call the phone.
While I was drumming my fingers on the keyboard, thinking, thank god for email, I remembered I had bought a Skype phone that plugs into the USB slot about a year ago.
I funded my Skype account for a year for $29.95 charged against my paypal account, and I was on the phone with David in about 15 minutes total. Even over the satellite the quality was very good. No distortion and he could hear me clearly. There is a delay of about 6 to 7 seconds because the satellite is 22,000 miles above me, and everything is a round trip, but it works!
Best of all the Chinese restaurant has the phone and they open at 11am. So much for getting out of Vegas at 7am before the heat. So if you were thinking of calling me, wait until after lunch time!

Damn it was hot today. Trailer was well over 100F and it got up to about 97F outside. Time to go north!
