Pat myself again

Another pat myself on the back incident. This time no doubt precipitated by the incident at Harbor Freight. These things always happen when Halburn has found himself in an embarrassing situation.

He says:
"Wednesday morning, on my way to an appointment, I drove by a home, in Dunbar, and saw a senior citizen that appeared to be taking a nap next to his home. Upon closer inspection, I suspected that he'd collapsed. I stopped my car and tried to wake him and learned he was unconscious. Thankfully, I had my cell phone and called 911 while others ran to the scene. We revived him while paramedics rolled and arrived. When I went back to my car, I realized that I hadn't even turned off the ignition. (I guess I was focused on the victim). Thankfully, I spoke to him later and he is OK. A diabetic who'd recently has his gall bladder removed, he says he over-exerted himself doing yard work. While I doubt there is an official study, I would love to learn how many lives have been saved by the availability of cell phones. We hear about texting and driving accidents, and those reports are terrible. However, I think the invention and use of cell phones are far more positive than negative. This can be a fun thread. How have cell phones had a positive impact in your life?"
