The new pay phone is to walk up to a teenager and offer them a buck for a quick call. since they're all on plans, mostly paid for by their parents, ha, ha! this gives them a quick buck and ends the hunt for the virtually non-existent phone booths! Maybe phone booths only now exist in the virtual world, given it's virtually impossible to find one! Take it from me, I don’t have a cell phone!

Just the other day, I was scheduled to rendezvous with someone but could not for the life of me find their office (despite having directions). Anyway, I had left the house in a hurry that morning and forgot to grab my cell phone off the charger. So...here I am, driving around in an unfamiliar industrial park where every office looks the same, trying to find my destination. After 10 minutes of this absurdity, I figured I would find a payphone and just call my friend. Ha! No such luck. Despite a Costco, a McDonalds, a Starbucks, etc. across the street, not one place had a payphone! The nice manager at McDonalds let me use their landline, and I was able to connect with my friend. But wow...it made me stop and think about how much things have changed in a short period of time. Used to be you could find a payphone on every corner. Are we really that old??? :) At least Royce found a pay phone!
