Speaking of US West (somebody was...), I was just in their area this past
week.  I noticed that payphones cost $.35 for a local call.  Is that something
just peculiar to Iowa or is it a sweeping trend I'll have to deal with all
the time soon?

People always have a quarter on them.  But who has a quarter and a dime?
Yeech.

[Moderator's Note: Are you sure these were US West payphones, or perhaps
privately owned COCOTS under the auspices of a greedy shop-keeper?   PT]
