So far I have this list: Well, here are two things. One is fun, the other isn't. For a real treat, carry a transportable phone. Then, when you arrive at someone's house, do the following: before you knock or ring the doorbell, have his/her number all set to be dialed. Lastly, dial the number and after a slight pause, ring the bell. See if you can predict, in advance, whether your host(ess) will answer the door or the phone first. On a serious note, some months ago, I glanced out a window to see a neighbor's house on fire. It didn't take me long to reach for the phone and try to dial the fire department. Unfortunately, the fire had already melted the phone cables. Luckily, I have a transportable with a charged battery pack which I did use to call for help. DF
