Batman

As a man, I’m flesh and blood - I can be ignored, I can be destroyed. But as a symbol… as a symbol I can be incorruptible. I can be everlasting.

I took a substantial detour just for the lulz. But 103° temps are not ideal for a photoshoot, and my phone overheated about 30 seconds in - and with it my means of navigation. I threw it in a gas station fridge and moved on after we had both cooled down.

I despise this phone with the ferocity of a thousand suns, though apparently only one is needed. Tempted as I am to pen a diatribe against Google, my pettiness is not what you want to read. I guess this is the phone I deserve, not the one I need.
