cell phone theory is the worst....who the hell is she talking to? the future?

i'd have to think any future advanced enough to do time travel and without cell phone towers must be advanced enough where you dont have to hold the phone to your head.

saw this across the street. most logical answer was a hearing aid. there was one out back in those years that looked exactly like a cell phone of today. forget the name of the company.

you'd have to think back then hearing aids were pretty shitty (if they had them back then)......you still see folks with hearing aids cupping their hand over their ear when they are trying to hold a conversation.....and it's 2010!!!!

Its OK, Captain Kirk went back and made sure she got hit by a car and killed, so the future wouldn't be affected.
