Corlu Bus News III

SO, I recall Adding somewhere Bus News. 
  Last year, I had thought the bus situation would be in the news, however, the same thing was happening. The Mayor of Çorlu was still trying to work against the private bus owners (which in Turkey that is 90% of all bus owners) So, getting rid of the bus owners was like getting rid of hundreds even a couple thousand jobs in a city of 250,000 (registered even though it was more like 500,000, however, it was thousands of jobs) 
The Mayor did do some laws, like buses needed to be new. So Baba's buses are new. I mean BRAND new. He's got a few of those now. So, Apparently, the Mayor has decided to have to be re-elected as Mayor and had a sit down with all the former bus drivers and bus driver associations of Çorlu that worked not just within the city but outside the city. Baba has gone to all the meetings and has decided to re-open and re-elect the Mayor. The Mayor promised to restore the buses and Baba's bus company is going to be completely functional within a couple of months. It is good news for the family and exciting news for baba! 
  We are of course really happy for this news and are looking to baba and all of his friends up and operating the buses in the next couple of months. We are really happy for this news. All the sweat and tear that has gone into the operation and working of the bus, all the laws and law- digging, all the arguments of working the buses, its going to up and functioning soon. We are so happy. The buses are new. The Long Rock has tested them, as we know he loves all things new. The Long Rock went with his father to look at the new bus and he said they are incredible. We are happy for this too. 

Next happy news::: When Long Rock is here... I will be more happy then. 

The iPhone Adventure II

Just a couple of weeks ago, I had a perfect beautiful iPhone 4S. I have had it for almost two years. My iPhone has been such a good companion of mine these past years. 

Not only have I loved my iPhone, I must add that the reason for me loving this one in particular. (If you have not read The iPhone Adventure a couple of months ago, highly recommended.) See, my husband bought me the iPhone, and I was in Las Vegas when he did. Because of the exchange rate with Turkish lira and US Dollars, my husband had to buy it in US Dollars. Also, electronics in Turkey are expensive. Then, there is the tariff and customs taxes and fees. Which is as much or more than the actual cost of the phone. Well, I am telling you this because it took so much to get my phone functioning and legal in Turkey. This leads me to the big washing of January, when I was talking on the phone with The Long Rock on FaceTime. When my phone fell in the water. It still worked (this was after it was in the bathroom of the 7-11) 

Just two weeks ago I was at work. I was looking across the parking lot at Wolf Creek Village when I realized I had a friend I hadn't seen in more than 2 years just across the parking lot!!! What Serendipity! ı ran to her and my phone fell out of my hands and smashed to the ground. I say smashed because that is what happened to the back of the phone. It smashed. I mean, to the point of it cutting me. My friend, H (we have been friends since we were 7) gave me a leather case. It is really cool, but it helped the back flaking off into my hands.
  I then wanted to replace the back with a new one, and found one online. Amazon(dot)com is wonderful for such things. I bought me a brand new back. I did not know it came in other designs and colors. But I bought the one fitted for me. It came with a tool and the white back. I switched it out and boom! Done!! I am so happy. Thus continuing my iPhone adventure! (I hope it endeth my iPhone Adventure!!)
