So I stop at a hvac distributor this morning to pick up a couple things for a crew I'd be running into later and my hands are full, so I set my company cell phone on the roof of the car to get the stuff loaded in. Have to go inside to get an invoice and BS for a few minutes. Come out and totally forget about it. I make it through town , but as I get up to highway speeds it happens. I hear a soft clunk clunk on the roof and in that instant I remember that the phone is up there. To late. I look in the rearview mirror in time to see it majestically soaring through the air before plummiting down to rt 119...in front of an unmarked state trooper no less. I quickly pull off the road as does the trooper. He gets out smiling and tells me " I don't think it made it. The first couple cars missed it, but I'm pretty sure I saw it get hit" Oh yes, he did. I collect the six or so pieces of my two month old company provided phone and walk back to the car knowing full well I'll now be a few hundred dollars poorer. Could have been a better day ( although I know it could have been alot worse, so I'm thankful for that)
