Book Board Chat

Hello to all from Belleville, Illinois where we are experiencing typical hot humid summer weather.

I get my internet, telephone, and TV through Spectrum ... and they have been having service outages off-and-on for several days now. Service is spotty so I never know what will be working and what won't work. A wide area was affected. I keep seeing Spectrum trucks in the neighborhood, so at least they are aware of the problem.

Jim With the decline of smoking, I've noticed that I seldom see book matches anymore. When I was younger, I had a matchbook collection. As I would go to restaurants, bars, hotels, and many other businesses I would pick up free matches. Matchbooks were a good source of advertising for these places back then.
