For the sin of not having a ……… wait for it…………..”a landline”.
I’ve had one all my adult life and growing up as a boy of the ’60s and ’70s, if you could not use someone’s phone or get to a pay phone, you just were out of communication.
Those days are long gone.
Now for the first time, I only have a cell phone to allow me to be “reachable”.
I know how Opus feels.

We still have a couple of those. They work well enough when we lose power so we just keep them around on a shelf in case we ever need to plug them in. I can’t imagine who we’d call in that event but it’s nice to know that we can if we want to.
