Hey, when I was growing up we did not even use the phone to call our 
neighbors, it was cheaper to walk down the street. A local phone call 
cost a dime for 3 minutes, didn't matter if it was your phone or a pay 
phone. 10 cents please. BTW, that dime would buy a cup of coffee or a 
bottle of Coke anywhere back then. You could even get a hamburger for a 
dime, but it was a small hamburger, normal ones were 15 cents.

In some ways I have not really adapted to the modern way, I still would 
rather stop by instead of calling first, especially if I was going to be 
in the vicinity anyway.
