When is the last time you saw a pay phone? I bet it’s been awhile.  Today, I had one of those days when I needed one. I left my cell phone at home.  We were down in Albuquerque for swim lessons. I had made plans with Bill to meet him for lunch.  He said I will call you.  Well he called me, but I didn’t get any of the calls.  I left my phone on my dresser.  UGH!!!!  When I got to the restaurant Bill was no where to be found.  So I took off down the road in search of a pay phone.  None to be found.  Plus since we still have Maryland numbers, I wasn’t sure 75 cents would pay for a long distance call.   Billy told me he saw a pay phone by the ATM.  I thought he was just being silly.  That is until we went to Walmart in Edgewood to return something and there in Customer Service was a pay phone next to the ATM.  He was right.   It all ended well.  I spied Bill’s truck traveling down Central Avenue and we had lunch after all.    From now on, I will make a mental checklist, wallet, keys and cell phone.  Can’t leave home without it.
