Alex had a gnawing, uneasy feeling when he boarded the last BART train from San Francisco International Airport, on the way home from a business trip in 2012. The station was dead empty.

This is why I carry a dumb phone and do all of my other tasks on a kindle keyboard or kindle fire. steal my trac-fone, I dare ya! It’s the “all your eggs in one basket” thing that keeps me from getting a smart phone. Some people have their whole life on those things.

I am surprised, but Victor Frans DuLong Jr. is listed in white pages.com address, phone # everything.

Yipes! Glad I did not make it to the f-bomb.
