Very very tired and I still have 3 1/2 hours to drive… #
240 miles done, 65 to go…. Then some serious sleeping. #

@StarrGazr will do 🙂 Just got back from NYC myself, I’ll be uploading a few pics of the man-made waterfalls here: http://is.gd/1HlW #
@StarrGazr yeah, we went on a chapgne cruise that also happen to pass the waterfalls. the falls were *definitely* secondary to the booze 😛 #
@StarrGazr seconday for everyone else. I was honestly too absorbed with the girl to pay much attention to the falls *blush* #
@StarrGazr absolutely. I’d recommend it. I grabbed some pictures of a massive rain storm over the city on our way back in also. pretty cool. #

@purplelime did you try shutting off and turning back on the wifi? Sometimes mine won’t “catch” either until I do that. Otherwise restore 😦 #
@mobilefotos still crashing for me. I’m going to delete it and redownload it …I’ll let you know if that helps. #
@purplelime Did you update/pwn it lately? That’s weird that it just randomly stopped working. My Touch has been flaky too though. #
@purplelime hmm… it’s got the “Wednesday’s” perhaps? That is really odd. Hope the restore does the trick for you. #
@purplelime do let me know if it works (or doesn’t) — you’ve got me curious now. 😉 #
@purplelime hmm… how new is the Touch? Did you buy it recently? Warranty? It sounds like your internal wifi may be bad. Did you drop it? #
@purplelime I’d definitely at least take it in. They may just give you a new one. That’s really odd. 😦 #
