The Way It used to Be

That's big 10-4! I just got me a new phone - and it folds in the middle! I dunno why but many folks think you HAVE to get a smart phone or no phone at all and that just isn't true. US Cellular has several flip phone options and I picked the zootiest one. Nice screen. No, don't text me (sorry, Bob).

I'm glad I don't have a smart phone, I never will. It's just another drug, a strong one. Another addiction, in hand every waking moment. No, I don't want that, I've seen it too much, what it does to people. It uncontrollably rules their day. No.

I went disabled enough to be slightly time warped.
I still have no cell phone.

my ride is rural enough to be sitting for awhile if I broke...
I just row the gears with something called a "manual" transmission.

I do have my pioneering feats..I still wanted past elements.
I'll catch up some day.

Discipline in journalism is gone as it is wide open. Anyone can do it.
I put up with misspellings, and dish them out as well.
