Technology presses onward ...

You know, I THINK I have adapted quite well to being the Farmers Wife!  I can only imagine how things went for him during his departure the other day as the whole crew went off to play soldier games.  Before he had even boarded the aircraft, I called him on his much despised mobile phone to have him teach me how to operate the pump in our quickly flooding dungeon.  NEXT call to his much despised mobile phone ... WHY is there NO WATER PRESSURE!?!?!  This time I was truly on my own because he was already in the soldier game arena.  No problem, a quick lesson from the previous owner and I'm back in business *whew*( NOW there was no need to go to the WalMart store to do my "other business")  AND THEN ... what, you thought that was ALL?  Hello! we're talking Okinawan Princess here!  Yes, THEN the DUMB cow got loose ... ugh!  So there I was, yet again, on that much despised mobile phone, calling the Farmer, asking "ARGH ... what to do what to do!"  Actually, I pretty much KNEW what to do, but somehow I wanted reassurance and a bit of sympathy.  So, I lured the DUMB cow back into the main pasture with grain, but I wouldn't let him have it because I thought he was BAD BAD BAD!!!  Then, I tightened up the high tinsile fencing and we were back in business!  I texted the Farmer, causing him to actually read text in front of soldier buddies, and ... DIG THIS ... he sent a text back from that oh so despised mobile phone ... YOU THINK I GOT HIM CONVERTED?   Can you say "BUSTED!"
....    ....

Ah, technology has a way of converting even the most bullheaded farmers!

ps ... DO NOT correct me on the proper name for this MALE  BEEF CATTLE style animal .. he will always be "DUMB COW" to me!
