Good morning from the saltshaker.


It seems to be coming together now and that feels good. I am thinking about how we communicate with eachother now. I remember when my parents go their first telephone. It was a party line and about 6 people on the line and you could listen in to anyone on the phone in another house. Their first phone number was 3926. That was it. Let me know if you remember your first phone number. Long distance was not heard of unless you could spend a lot of money to do that. People had codes like is Jack there. To tell someone they arrived safely and not pay for the call. It was person to person and if they weren't there the call would be free. Today with skype and the internet and cell phones we can contact anyone anywhere in the world instantly. Quite something isn't it. But in some ways the old way wasn't so bad. I probably go back further than most of you but, let me know what you think of this age of instant communication. I think that all this communication is evidence of our need to talk to eachother.
