Today it begins....

Had anticipated starting with something a bit more weighty, but am left with a mundane reality of three minutes ago which, nevertheless, is the theme of this blog.

The keypad on the landline telephone just went South.  Nice dial tone, just no more response when you hit the buttons.

Another tribute to the quality of electronics manufactured in China. 

I have a 100 year old telephone in this house wired together like a tank.  It works fine.  But let's send more jobs to China so CEOs can up their salaries another few million per annum and some Chinese peasant can make a few slave-wage pennies to spend on crap they don't need

Good Night
