Telephone problem

My landline telephone has not been working the past few days, no dial tone or anything, although my online connection is good. It may be that the physical phone, which, if I recall correctly, I bought for twenty-odd dollars in Austin, Texas in 1985, has breathed its last, and needs to be replaced.

I already have problems with my smartphone, which has been more trouble than the flip phone I used to use before they went 5G. If you’re unable to call me, now you know why.

This is not, alas, an April Fool’s day joke.
