phone numbers

[hatidua]

When hurricanes Francis and Jeanne hit where I lived in 2004 (Stuart, FL), cell towers were wiped out for weeks but land-lines/pay phones in many cases remained viable. Although pay phones seem quite rare now, if you google your town and the word pay phone, you will be able to find a map of where they still are. Even if you do not personally need help or assistance of any kind, it's often nice to let your parents/children in other states know that you are OK. In light of most of us likely not knowing every relatives phone number from memory due to keeping all of that info logged in our cell phones, keeping a list of important numbers, and a $10 roll of quarters for the pay phone in the "just in case" bag is not such a bad idea.

Merely my $.02 for the day
