California update: I just finished up with my speaking engagement at the San Diego Huskers alumni event at Bernardo Winery in Poway, CA and was getting ready to hit the I-15 to drive back down to the Gaslamp District when my phone started buzzing. Uh oh. 17% battery left. And I needed to use the GPS. This sucker wasn't going to last another 10 minutes let alone 28 miles on a 7-lane freeway! Quick, I need a charger!!
Crap! The USB port in my rental car is dysfunctional and won't charge my phone, WTF!?! Must find charger. First stop, Kwik gas station. Denied. Better luck next time, Nebraska sucker.
Aha!! The heavenly light just shined down on a Sprint store!! Pit stop time. With car charger in hand and the male employees offering to take me out on the town, to which I politely declined, I am in the little Kia Soul, my whip for the day, and the phone is charging!! Google maps, take me home.
Why is this story interesting, you ask? I'll tell you why. On the way out, they offered me a hot dog from the little marketing booth they set up outside. That's right. I walked out with a car charger and a turkey dog. #success #postwineprotein
