My cousin D. was a Dead Head and followed Jerry and the boys around for a few years. When she came back home she lived in an old (short) school bus she'd turned into a camper and had painted up. Aunt and Uncle let her park it in the upper cow pasture near a stand of trees.
In the rural county where my brother lives, there's a number of Amish families. They have one or two phone booths scattered around the community - normally sitting a couple yards off the dirt road not near anyone's house - in case there is an emergency like a house fire or accident and 911 needs calling or a doctor visit needs arranged.
Some of the elders here have cell phones
I forgot about the checks. And they do not know how to count back change either. If the cash register does not tell them how much to give back, they have no clue. Boggles the mind for sure.
Just saw another post about phone booths. I forgot about them too. Old age? I remember always having a dime to make a phone call and then it was 25 cents. Now they are gone. So if one does not have a cell phone, one is in trouble should something happen on the road. Britain had some lovely ones, I wonder if they are still there. I was there in 2002
I loved those wing windows. Let in air w/o the rain. My 1956 Chev was a 3 on the column and my last manual was a 4 on the floor, a Nissan Pulsar, which they no longer make. The beam switch was very handy where it was on the floor. I remember having to use hand signals, still remember how, but not we have turn signals inside which I do like. What I do not like is the backup screen. You still have to look at the sides so I consider it useless.
Most useless thing I've seen on a vehicles was automatic wipers!
I heard some got caught when the emergency alert test happened.
