Bad Connection

I got up this morning and my husband was not home. He called last night from a work phone that has static. All I heard were the words, "Busy, broken machines" and "never ate". I can only assume that the words "working overtime" were somewhere in the mix. I would call his cell now to see if he is safe, but he never keeps it on. He only uses it to call the diner for a hamburger on his way home from work. I am assuming he is fine, as bad news travels fast.
