It never ceases to amaze me how strongly correlated “I am momentarily beyond earshot of my mobile phone” and “People decide to call said phone” are.

Today’s example: Before noon, I was away from my phone for a total of 12 minutes.  Both incoming calls I received this morning occurred within those 12 minutes.

A quick rundown in the “close to home” department:

• The downtown Taco Bueno opened last week;
•  The Hurricane (which existed for < 3 months as Flashback Dance Club) now serves food during lunch as Pastabilities (which I didn’t realize exists elsewhere in Lincoln);
• Brown Baggers also opened last week (once again, I didn’t realize exists elsewhere in Lincoln);
• A Husker home game-only bar is now (whose name currently escapes me) in the location most recently occupied by The Melting Spot.
