I opened a box on the back shelf that was labeled "Do Not Open Until 2025: This means you, Elinor." High hopes for excitement but it was a bunch of Johnny's old mss (which is exciting! but he gets to look at them first), some crap & this rotary phone. I think a phone came when you installed the phone line, although the long cord was something I bought so I could talk anywhere in my apartment. That phone was good as new for at least 25 years. What does a smartphone have on a solid machine like this?
I remember a kid somewhere saying he had come up with a great idea: What if there was a way to attach your phone to a wall so you didn't lose it.
