before technology . 4/3/21

Before cell phones 

We were forced 

To pick up the phone 

Yes, a land line 

Rotary 

Push button 

Dial a number  

No caller ID 

Crossing your fingers 

That someone was home 

Hoping and waiting 

Just to hear a real voice 

No voicemail 

No using our fingers 

To text a message 

That was not an option  

But using our fingers 

To dial a number  

7 digits 

That we had to memorize 

Remember 

Phone books told us how to find  

The things we needed 

Address books told us 

How to connect  

To the people we needed 

How did we ever get along  

Without our devices 

Easy 

We called 

We listened 

Then hung up the phone 

Until someone  

Called us back

Myths of Babylonia and Assyria by Donald Alexander Mackenzie (1873 - 1936) LibriVox Donald Alexander Mackenzie (1873 – March 2, 1936) was a Scottish journalist and prolific writer on religion, mythology and anthropology in the early 20th century. His works included Indian Myth and Legend, Celtic Folklore and Myths of China and Japan.As well as writing books, articles and poems, he often gave lectures, and also broadcast talks on Celtic mythology.This volume deals with the myths and legends of Babylonia and Assyria, and as these reflect the civilization in which they developed, a historical narrative has been provided, beginning with the early Sumerian Age and concluding with the periods of the Persian and Grecian Empires. Over thirty centuries of human progress are thus passed under review.(Summary extracted from Wikipedia and the Preface of this book) E. L. Doctorow Academy of Achievement Edgar Lawrence Doctorow is of the most beloved writers of our time whose books are published in more than thirty languages. He was born in the Bronx, a child who grew up in a family where reading was an essential part of life. After college, Doctorow wrote in his spare time while working at a variety of odd jobs, including a stint as an airline reservations clerk, later became a script reader for Columbia Pictures which helped pave the way for a successful publishing career. He had his first novel "Welcome to Hard Times" published in 1960 and went on to author "The Book of Daniel" (inspired by the execution of Ethel and Julius Rosenberg for giving nuclear secrets to the Soviet Union), "Ragtime" (a blend of history and fiction set during the dazzle of turn-of-the-century America), "World's Fair" (about a young boy's life in the New York City of the 1930s), "Billy Bathgate" and "The March." Doctorow is the recipient of the National Book Critics Circle Award, the National Book Award, a Bible (KJV) 04: Numbers by King James Version (KJV) LibriVox The Book of Numbers is the fourth book of the Hebrew Bible, and the fourth of five books of the Jewish Torah/Pentateuch. This book may be divided into three parts: 1. The numbering of the people at Sinai, and preparations for resuming their march (1–10:10). 2. An account of the journey from Sinai to Moab, the sending out of the spies and the report they brought back, the murmurings (eight times) of the people at the hardships by the way, and the subsequent exile into the wilderness for 40 years (10:11–21:20). 3. The transactions in the plain of Moab before crossing the Jordan River (21:21–36).The period comprehended in the history extends from the second month of the second year, as measured from the Exodus, to the beginning of the eleventh month of the fortieth year, in all about thirty-seven years and nine months; a dreary period of wanderings.
