WHERE DOES THE WIRE GO?

   WHERE DOES THE WIRE GO?

   You "older folks" may have to help

the kids with this one! March 10th is

"Land Line Telephone Day!" A lot

of younger people know little or

nothing about a land line or "Home

telephone." These days most everyone

has a Smart or Cell phone to search

the web, take pictures, send texts, and,

yes, even make and receive telephone

calls. But before those cell phones

came along everybody was "wired"

to Ma Bell (the Telephone company)

to make your personal or business

calls. A little less that 50$ of people,

me included, still have a land line

telephone at home. And they still

offer some advantages. The sound

quality on a good land line phone

is hard to beat. They work in areas

where there are few if any cell phone

towers. And, if nothing else, you can

use them to dial your own cell phone

when you've misplaced it so you can

listen for the ring to see where you 

left it! Hope you've got the right

number and that all your NEWS is

good!
