as a kid i had a phone card. they were introduced the year i was born and by the time i was eight, the payphones no longer took cash.

turns out, when living out in the country there aren't that many payphones either. i could call home from school, which was a few towns over from where i lived, or from the bus terminal which was in yet another town even further away. it was a strange time, but we made it work for like seven years.
