WHAT YOU SEEK CANNOT BE FOUND

When the phone was first invented, it was a luxury toy for the
very rich but as the decades past, that toy moved from the
well-to-do to become a must-have for the masses. Some could argue
that the telephone was the first piece of technology to begin
shrinking the planet. Now anyone can call any other person anywhere
in the world. Not long ago, I received a call from a friend in
Africa.
The phone is a staple of the American culture. Currently, about
84% (or 250-million) Americans now are a part of some type of cell
phone plan. You could tell how important phones
were to US culture when they began showing up in films, songs and
songs.
What are you to do when there's leftovers? Get a big ol' pot
and throw everything left over into it for some good old
fashioned Gumbo.
Here's where you find all the bits & pieces and odds & ends
that all refer back to our friend, the telephone. From the odd
and off the wall to the historical facts, this is where it all ends
up.
