Frederick, how about inventing a Smart lure to catch the trout in the Shields River? After NXTL hits the century mark I'd pay to go to the Smart Dude Ranch and catch some of those fish.
The issue of running out of phone numbers is a serious one and that's the reason for the recent acceleration of new area codes. All the telcos are faced with the same problem until new area codes are added. In the old days a family had one phone number. No more. For example, my wife and I have five, count 'em, 5. Am I a sucker for advertising or what? Please don't ask me for my telephone number. :-) Add to that the myriad password id's on the internet, my car's keypad number, the house alarm, atm and credit cards, and my head's spinning. While I currently suffer from old timer's disease, if I ever get Alheimers I'm in serious trouble. Maybe I ought to have all the numbers tatooed on my arm. On second thought I don't do well with pain.
