Man! The joint was on fire last night!
An embarrassment of riches* -- but I'll just comment on this one.

Note the 100% correlation between the level of commitment and pipe smoking.

OK, my work is done here.

for now...

When I was a kid we had a wall-mounted crank phone like one of these. We had a "party line" with about 10 other phone owners on it. I had to stand on a chair, crank the phone and Mrs Wilson the operator would come on: "Oh, hello Robbie, and how is your family?". She knew everything about everybody. I could pick up the ear piece and listen to everybody's phone conversations. No TV at that time. My Dad was the chief of police, and everybody could listen to his phone conversations about the latest murders and beatings (it was a rough, "cow town" in the ranch area of British Columbia), and my friends Moms would ask me about them because someone (more like everyone) had listened to my Dad's calls.

I have a Western Electric on my wall and small collection of wired phones with a Princess on my land line. ATT is going to abandon the copper lines. This is not so good in and around my rural neighborhoods. That will leave us with satellite as our only option (some have cable). Here are some of my finds and if you see a cool one at a garage sale or thrift shop maybe pick it up as prices are climbing.

I don't know if I could admit to my family I was willing to relocate to Montreal
