I continue the slide into yuppie scuminess with the purchase of a mobile phone. I was going to rationalize/justify the purchase by replacing my landline with the only marginally more expensive PCS service, but alas the quality of service is not there yet.
Ironically, even though there’s a PCS relay right in my town, I have trouble getting a digital connection inside my apartment. Maybe it’s the plaster walls in this old house blocking the signal. When I step out the front door the signal wakes right up.
