Oh, someone did resurrect a phone booth somewhere in town, but they set it up so you could put your money in and hear pre-recorded poetry or some such nonsense. The local punks trashed it a couple of times so they had to move it to a "safe" place... yeah, right! <br />Sorry about the lettuce mishap - I just get the heads and wash as needed.

People come to it to "speak" to relatives<br />that were lost in the Tsunami. They come regularly.<br />just enter and "call"...<br /><br />Father? are you there?<br /><br />Husband? are you there?<br /><br />they then tell the things of their days...just the normal things<br />children sometimes talk too...telling what they did at school<br /><br />they all say....we are all ok, but we miss you so much...are you ok too?<br /><br />things like that.<br /><br />I'll try to find a link for it<br /><br />using the phone booth is often the first time people have begun the<br />healing grief.grace Forrest~Maestashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15853978388902544613noreply@blogger.com
