My dad worked for AT&T. We actually had twi phones — one in the family room (with a speaker phone) and a Princess touchtone phone in the master bedroom.
When my wife and I moved to our house here in 1995, the local newspaper ran a story about a rural part of our county where they still had a plug switchboard operator.
Have you ever yelled at someone to get off your lawn?
I came very close today. Some idiot on a scooter with two dogs let them run on my front lawn. Both looked like they did their business, but it looked like he picked up one.
I went out to check if there was poop from the other one, but maybe it just peed. If he (or she, as my wife thinks) was still there, I would have yelled at him to keep his dogs off our lawn.
It’s one thing if they sniff the edge by the sidewalk and pee there, but they all came pretty far into my yard.
Our high school had a mandatory American Government class in 12th grade, although I don’t remember discussions of propaganda. I even remember the teacher — Mr. Finney.
We did discuss the Russian system of government in elementary school, though. I thought you might appreciate that, Boris. ;-)
