I am the first to admit that I am a very superficial user of technology. I can do amazing things on my phone - text, send emails, make actual phone calls, take pictures, wake myself up and more, but don't ask me to figure out how these things work. I do not go beneath the top layer of actions on my laptop, like writing this blog, paying bills, creating documents. You get the idea. It's at the same level that I understand airplanes and electricity. So, recently, when my west coast brother complained that he wasn't receiving my texts, I tried to figure out the solution without actually fiddling with my phone settings. Other people, much closer to my home were receiving my texts with no problem. But finally I think I've figured it out. Last week it was very humid in this area, up into the oppressive zone on the local weather charts. One day it was so humid that I almost couldn't get my front door open. Today, a day with very low humidity, my brother told me that ten of my backed up messages had come through all at once. Everyone knows that humidity makes things swell up. I'm pretty sure that my texts got all puffy, damp and sluggish and just couldn't make it through the soggy air. I'm willing to consider other theories but I really think I might have something here.
