    I remember when our old phone number was CR7-0108 because we were on the Crestview exchange in New Jersey. Back then people knew exactly where you lived based on your phone number.

    Some of my old rulers have phone numbers from way back when:

    Remember when you could get a malt instead of just a milk shake?

    The malt syrup was a nickel extra in my town.

    I keep Malt handy. Have not progressed to Single Malt Scotch yet. It is something to aim for.
