Wrote this yesterday as I was doing this yesterday.

John has his phone and the Jax phone and another Jax phone.

Jax (5 miles away) is with Nix and the Nix phone.

John on the John phone talks to Nix and Jax on the Nix phone.

John also talks to Jax on the Jax phone and the other Jax phone.

Jax doesn’t know that - because the Jax phone and the other Jax phone is with John, so John really talks to John on the Jax phone and the other Jax phone.

From the Jax phone and the other Jax phone, John talks to Jax on the Nix phone and Nix on the Nix phone.

Messages to Nix from the John phone are blue.

Messages to Nix from the other Jax phone are blue.

Messages to Nix from the Jax phone are sometimes green.

Messages to Nix from the Jax phone are sometimes blue.

Except that last sentence is inaccurate.

Because sometimes John doesn’t talk to Jax or Nix, but rather to a random stranger.

Their messages are blue.

The green messages on the Jax phone are the real messages from Jax and Nix, even though on the other Jax phone the real messages are blue.

Yes it does get confusing, but I think the time was well spent, because I could have been trying to fix the new wireless extender … because Mercury is most definitely in retrograde.

It’s complicated.

P.S. … all messages are now blue, which is as it should be.

What shouldn’t be is this hard.
