Oh Mrs. Hoel I have never owned even a simple cell phone so I have no idea what any of those hand held things are for. My phone is on my desk where any sensible person would keep it. I also have stationary, envelopes and stamps which none of these modern people know anything about so I suppose we are even.
Ya, ya, ya, you’ve seen one clock, you’ve seen ’em all Akna. Just let me know when it’s “Miller Time”….Speaking of which,,is anybody else with thirst???

At least day and night will be consistent without them. And there’s always the good old sundial. Except when it’s raining or snowing.

Maybe life would be simpler if we’d left it at this rather than putting all the numbers on it!
