THE DEAD ZONE

The problem with taking your cell phone with you...

The Seniors at Big Boy Restaurant in Traverse City solve a lot of problems… every day!  On one particular day, one of the regulars announced he planned to take his cell phone with him after he died so he could “keep in touch with my kids.”.

Naturally, the discussion then centered on the logistics of how he could keep his battery charged, etc.  As I reflected on the conversation,  I had a mental image of his gravesite and how it would look to make his cell phone operational.  The next logical step in the thought  process was to think about how it all might work.  Anyone with a cell phone should relate to the problem.

I wonder if his kids would accept a collect call?
