day 128 – david

This one felt good.  Post-9/11, I’ve had recurring survivalist inclinations.  This was being saved in case the internet went down and I had to look up a phone number, or find an address.  Been on the shelf since ’04.  Never used.  Not once.  I don’t know whether I have more confidence in the persistence of internet access in the event of a disaster, or an inflated sense of safety from disaster, or simply that I’ve concluded that any disaster that’s big enough to take down the internet will be big enough that a phone book won’t help either.

still works

Of course, it’s still the benchmark for a toddler’s seat booster.  And a timeless prop for recreating Steve Martin’s “The new phonebook’s here!!!” quote from The Jerk.

I’m kinda sad to see it go.
