We go to grade schools to teach fire safety and have a phone that connects to another in a different room to allow the kids to practice calling 911.
About half don't know how to use the "old" phone and try dialing before picking up or looking for a "call" button. 2 and 3 graders. |

I still have one of those |

I was at a car cruise last night where a dad was explaining to his teenage daughter what the button was on the floor of my Charger. Remember when there also was a windshield washer button on the floor? |

I still drive a '49 Plymouth with a flathead six, vacuum wipers, 6 volt positive ground electrical system, a three on the tree, bias-ply tires, dimmer switch on the floor, and a parking brake on the drive shaft. Drove it all winter long at 8,000 feet in the Rockies one year.  |
