re: I know South Carolina ain't much, but Bama better be careful

Oh yeah, you could get the time by phone ... I forget the number but it was always listed in the front of the phone book and back then we all knew it by heart. We did the same thing every night in our house. It was a big deal.

The village town I grew up in ... you got a county phone book. And the entire county combined made up a phone book of barely 30 pages, thinner than most magazines.

I cannot remember the last time I used a phone book. These days I speak it into my phone and it finds it and dials it for me. It's total Dick Tracy and Buck Rogers type stuff from when I was a kid.
