Try finding a pay phone. They are rare beasts.

Rotary pay phones are already collectibles, push button phones will be.. as soon as they're taken out of service. I'd wanna buy a truckload at auction and turn em in 20 yrs

I was organizing the grandchildren eulogy for my recently deceased grandfather (I am the oldest, the youngest is now 17). I had everyone's Email addresses, and only about half responded. I thought they were being lazy. Nobody uses E-mail anymore, just Facebook and texting. I never thought I would see the day when E-mail was old fashioned, what did that take, like 10 years?

It took a special skill to tune a tv in properly with those. My father doesn't have cable either and upgraded to a roof antenna after years of using Radio Shack's higher end TV rabbit ear set.

Or cubic yards of aluminum foil.

or we could just all suck it up.

How about voting by not purchasing or using said devices. Life is harder if you're angry all the time.

And beer still comes in convenient containers.

Oh, and my vote is for the Seattle dance major.

I can be happily assured that class exists.

I see those three young ladies need mentored by an older gentleman.. I shall volunteer

Oh, don't worry. i don't smart-phone, i don't Facebbook (SkyNet) and I don't even text.

Yet I'm more comfortable wit EFI, rather than carbs.

They are, but from my experience, most destinations in the mountains with poor cell coverage actually have them, probably in the lobby...

Now that I'm in a relationship, you can have my pickup line..
