The mighty flip phone

It's a long story as to why I was down there this afternoon, but I found myself outside of Gillis Field House at West Point for a high school winter track meet. The timing of the meet was in question, so everyone was on a phone trying to figure things out. There were high school coaches wandering around the parking lot with their SMART phones, searching for enough signal to make a call. They could not garner enough cell signal in the mountainous area around USMA to make a call.

Hey! Over here! The old guy with the FLIP phone. Got two bars! Ha! The young coaches put their SMART phones away and returned to the early 2000s to use this guy's FLIP phone. For once, I was the "smart" guy in the room.
