You Are Out of Luck, Clark Kent


Antiques come in all forms. 
The world was saved by a phone booth. Well, actually Clark Kent was able to save the world by changing into Superman while in a phone booth. What would he do today?

Until yesterday, I hadn't seen a phone booth in forever. Then this pitiful little excuse for one showed up on the side of a Minute Mart near us. We had pulled in at the request of a passenger who needed to pick up an item. While we waited, we were stunned and amazed to behold this thing of the past.

No door and not tall enough for a small child to stand in, this phone booth doubtless would not have met Clark's needs.

But Good News! There's a Halloween Party coming to town, the booth proclaims. And Pink Martini will be in Bend in December! The combined effect of those two events will bring a state of delight and joy that may save our town, if not the whole world.

    I hope all that joy will save your town,, especially since Clark Kent cant fit in that booth to change clothes and come save you!
    Every now and then we see a phone booth,, but they look more like half of an egg instead of a booth, and no phone books anymore!
    love

      Half an egg. Hmmm. Sort of like Humpty Dumpty. Thanks for stopping by Tweedles.
