Ah yes, a rotary phone! I’m old enough to recall when one’s phone number was made up of a word plus digits. Funny enough I can remember that when I was a kid – single digit age – mine was Export 9-1440. Can’t remember what I had for lunch but I can recall a phone number from the Jurassic Age.
I like that. Export 9 -1440. It sounds like a spy name. Or an immigrant who’s being sent back. I recall many of my school friend’s numbers, but the age of words preceded me.
I miss the Yellow Pages. You go just look under restaurants and get a list of all the joints in your area. Las Vegas used to have small phone books, about paperback book size with a small plastic magnifier included. I usually get your posts in my Email but this one and one about Buster didn’t show up for some reason.
No problemo. I think we still got the Yellow Pages a couple years ago, but I haven’t seen anything lately. Surely people who use Country Crock containers as tupperware still use Yellow Pages?

Limited though they may have been, the Yellow Pages weren’t nearly as easy to manipulate as search listings.
