I really like the slogan.


How weird! I am sure it has been 8 - 10 years (as I wrote before) since the Yellow Pages would still be delivered to our porch yearly. Now, just 3 and 2 1/2 weeks after Peak Stupidity's posts Let your fingers do the walking. and The Yellow Pages - Factoids and Fun, respectively, there came another one. It's about the time of year they used to come too.*

This one is 5/8" thick max, as compared to the old > 2" thick ones. I think I'll keep it for the times bing lets me down.

I am low on extra time today, so this will have to be today's only post. More on books for what's become book week here, and something on the invasion to come the next couple of days.



* I believe I recall from my business that one had to get ads arranged by some deadline in February. That gave a month of more for the mass printing and distribution.

PS: Hello, Mr. Anderson. You mean your Mom didn't spend $500 in today's money on equipment before you ever played and then drop you at the game in the mini-van, well, OK, Fury station wagon, and hang out with the other Moms to gossip and watch and call you all "hey, buddy.?

PS. As kids, when we played pick up hockey outside we used old telephone books for goalie pads- affixed with athletic tape and ace bandages. Large format magazines; Life, Look, etc, for regular shin pads. No “breezers “ (hockey pants) elbow pads nor helmets.

PS
In my personal experience, the bathroom walls are better than Angie's list.
