Lynn Anderson passes away.

Dang girl....your a walking wonder. 

One of these days, when my old Kindle dies, I'm sure I'll do the app on the Pad for it and love it.  

Since I'm not as mobile as you for most of the day, my electronics pretty much live at home so it doesn't matter that I have separate devices.   If I was carrying them with me, like you do, I'd definitely simplify and only carry the Ipad.  

I do need to google up the power saving features for battery life.

I do carry my cell phone when I'm out and about just in case I have car problems in traffic and need to call AAA.  Mostly though I use my cell for long distance.   Most of my family and long time friends aren't online.   Only a few of them have a cell phone.   Most still only have a landline phone though cordless has caught on now.    My age is showing.

I still have a landline phone. I'd get rid of it and get an iPhone to replace it, but the local telephone company requires that you have a landline phone before you can get internet service. Mostly nobody calls me except my parents. I screen all of my other calls with caller ID and my answering machine and for the most part I don't answer them.

We still have our landline. When we get hurricanes, they shut down cell service because there is limited service and they save it for emergency responders.

Hubby's work always tries to have him come in before a hurricane and stay there to babysit the computer system but he resists. In the past, they've drafted someone else with less seniority but he has to be able to say that they can reach him by phone. It's the usual thing...hubby has been tethered to emergency phone calls for all the decades we've been married.  On the day of his mom's funeral,  they had him pulling rabbits out of his hat for hours from 700 miles away.    Barely made the plane to come back home. 

I hardly answer the landline either. I let it roll to the answering machine.
