Solar-system
So here I am, bopping toward Canandaigua on Routes 5&20, when my cellphone rings.
“Unknown number,” it says.
I have Bluetooth in my car, and my cellphone is “paired” to it.
“Hello-hello.......”
In a tortured Indian accent: “You’re pre-qualified for a solar-system, since your electric-bill is over $100 a month.”
“Well actually it’s not,” I said. “It’s only about $70; but I am interested in a solar-system.
And I’d like one of them ringed planets, if I can.”
• “5&20” is the main east-west road (a two-lane highway) through my area; State Route 5 and U.S. Route 20, both on the same road. 5&20 is just south of where I live. It used to be the main road across Western New York before the Thruway.
