From One Bar to Three

One bar all day long. Echoing conversations. Words delayed in transit. Dropped calls. One bar all day long.

But in the evening things cleared up. After dinner I looked over and saw three bars. Three bars! So I picked up the phone and called the fair and industrious Trudy.

The phone rang in the kitchen.

Trudy! Can you get that? I shouted from the study.

Hello? said she.

Hello Trudy, said I.

It was a trick! said she.

Yes friends, the technology troglodyte has entered the 21st century. He's sixseven years late (or fivesix if you know how to count), but he's finally here.

Update 10:23pm: Six/five. Seven/six. Evidently I'm the smarty-pants who can't count!
