www.whitehouse.gov

I filmed this and forgot to upload it. My little piece of history that I will show the grandkids (and Meow Mix’s GREAT GREAT Grandkittehs).

I just dropped my phone in the toilet. Is this fixable?
is it an iPhone? If so, yeah, it can be fixed for a price… but i have witnessed many a young lady talking an Apple manager into free stuff.

A letter from Steve Jobs to the citizens of planet Earth.
