even at the "City Garage."

I'm sitting in the auto shop waiting for my cousin to pick me up -- thanks, cousin for this last minute pick up!! The wait is actually okay because this place has Wi-Fi!!!

I'm impressed. I used to bring my car to get fixed or get an oil change and at one point I used to WAIT until they were done. I remember one day I spent LITERALLY the whole day in the shop's waiting room. I read. I watched tv. I people-watched. I slept. I talked on the phone. But, I have never waited in a car shop's waiting room and gotten online.

Wi-Fi is everywhere these days.... hotels... fast-food places... even the auto shop.

Technology amazes me! The fact that I can send an email to my colleagues in Manila and get a response in what seems like seconds is incredible! AMAZING!!!

I've met people here in Dallas who have provided input to translation teams clear on the other side of the world over the Internet.

It's sooo cool to me that people could be doing work related to Bible translation on a computer while waiting in an auto shop in Coppell, TX ... or in a house in the mountains of Peru ... or in an office building in Manila, Philippines ...
