Watson, come here. I need you.
On Jan. 25, 1915, the inventor of the telephone, Alexander Graham Bell, inaugurated U.S. transcontinental telephone service.
On Jan. 25, 2008, my phone service went out. Alexander Graham Bell and the phone users in 1915 had more capability than I do now.
My neighbors' phones work, so it is just a problem at my house. Probably something got wet in the rain. Verizon recorded my service call and promised to fix it by 6 pm Tuesday. That is over 100 hours from now. I am hoping this is a case of underpromise and overdeliver.
