The price of technology
Infopage suddenly decided to bill me (P 2T++) after three years of inactivity. Why only now? Good grief, I've forgotten that I ever had a pager.
R.I.P. IP93060 has since been demoted to paperweight status.
Arnold suspects that pager companies have gone bankrupt since the cell phone boom and that the delayed billing is a last ditch effort to regain some dignity. Sigh, at my expense.

Speaking of bankruptcy, my friend Joan L has it that TGIFridays in El Pueblo closed down because they lost their crowd to Eastwood. Tequila Joe's is rumored to go next. How truly sad...
