I have a phone for the same reason - in years, I’ve made two or three calls on it. It’s nice for listening to the radio.

There was a cartoon recently: A dinosaur skeleton in a museum, hooked up to a cell phone. A scientist is saying something like, ‘The current theory is that they just wandered into the tar pits’.

I think of that every time I see someone on the street with their nose stuck in a phone instead of watching traffic...and it’s really scary when they are driving.

I borrowed my daughter's unused Obamaphone, but it was getting harder to get it to stay charged very long so unreliable. I didn't like it anyway, no internet service unless you subscribe to something and another backstory that I shouldn't take the time to write and put in proper context, etc.

I couldn't find the dinosaur cartoon, of course take your word for it but be fun to embed if I could. And being overwhelmed when I saw the only one I've ever seen as a child on a trip to Chicago in the Field Museum. And left a new little purse in the bathroom with $2 in it and nobody turned it in, so I grieved over that all the way home on the train. Boo hoo.

Oh the radio, I made sure I could get that to work on iheart at least even though I don't need it right now. I'm not into much music or movies any more for some reason.

All that in cars. And out walking, eating, visiting, slave to phones My daughter does it. Talking isn't too bad as she puts it on speaker on her dash but texting is a whole nuther animal. And they can't help looking down. If I receive a call or make one and find out the person is driving, I try to be considerate and not tie them up in a conversation. Don't have to many these days I talk to, lost my last email pal to a model and a book, and the one before that purely plutonic about our keyboards but wife found out, and one before that (there was an overlap as that was for years) passed away a couple years ago. And there was aother nice fellow from Indonesia about our mutual interest in keyboards, dropped the ball on him. One more Norwegian fellow, very nice, who introduced me to Vangelis.

They took a video down with Jane Fonda and Lee Hazelwood about Boots were made for walkin'. I enjoyed that, probably copyright issues.

Finally and I've gabbed too much here, there are hundreds of versions of Dances with Wolves on yt but this one was extra beautiful, glad I got that saved on my pc before they took that feature away from us in Firefox (on yt end more likely, probably watermarked by a foreigner and copyright issue.

So that's more than enough but appreciate when you have time to chat a little and your congeniality, never saw you be mean to anyone. Or others who have joined in on the cooking threads.
