The long awaited Apple iPhone finally debuted on June 29th at 6 P.M. No, I didn’t get to wait in line to see the magic device. I had to leave work and go pick up my dad from coming home from being out on the road for work for the week. After which, we came home and dad rested and I worked on some projects. Later on we went out to eat at a restaurant near an AT&T store. While we were eating dinner, the sky opened up and it just poured. After about 10 or 15 minutes, it let up some and we left and drove over to the AT&T store. And I experienced the first ever, Apple iPhone mobile phone device. This thing is amazing as it is now, although it is lacking some features; major features in my opinion.

I wasn’t able to get a good chance to tinker around with it - not because of crowds - but the batteries were dead from hours of continuous use. Right up front was the iPhone display. A tall, white, gleaming rectangular ‘tower’ with a TV display and two iPhones docked for display and usage. Sitting side by side on a shelf there were two slick, shining, elegant iPhones.

I was riding with mom (we shared the use of the car) after having lunch with dad. She was driving down Old Norcross Rd., we were coming through the intersection of Old Norcross and Cruse Rd. and this guy in a 2000 Toyota Camry was in the right turn lane onto Old Norcross, but instead of yielding to us, he decides he want’s to go straight - from a right turn-only lane, with a red light.

He came straight through and hit the front passanger door (my door),  his front bumper support caught the door jam of the rear door on the right side of the Jetta and just tore through the door like a can opener, the front bumper of his car smashed into the right rear wheel well pushing the rear wheel into the car, bending and damaging the sub-frame of the car.
