Bbrringg, bbbrrringgg: old phones, new ears.
Power was out this morning. It’s still out at home but I’m in the office where it’s warm and dry and happy… ok, let’s not gloat. Anyway, when the power goes out, we pull the digital, cordless phone base-station off the kitchen wall and plug in an old, analogue, single-line, business telephone. And it works. Cool.
ATT Single-line Telephone
Anyway, this morning when I called home to see how it was going there in the dark, apparently Tallis perked up and said – “what’s that funny sound?”
He’d never heard an actually ringing telephone.
