  I can't recall the last time I saw a pay phone.  Of course I don't go
around looking for one.
  I have a seen a lot of places they were, but gone.

  If someone is going that way I'll take a ride.
  One time a party I had taken a Lyft, since raining, and a neighbour who
lived a few blocks away was there and asked if I could get a ride home since
going past my place.  They did.
  But I would never ask someone "drive me somewhere".

  I wouldn't mind going back to the '80s in a heart beat.  The '70s up to
the mid '80s were good times for me.  And before the world started having a
collective mental breakdown.
