What got me were the sheep. The newspaper ad featured a shepherd and his flock on some remote moor. Summertime and the livin' ain't easy.
Free time is the subject of more fantasies than frozen yogurt.
But these sheep weren't posing for a rural getaway or a pastoral retreat. They were modeling for wireless phone service. Frankly, I usually glaze over ads. In the 1980s, they raised a lump in the collective American throat with the perverse promise that long distance could make us closer. Fast-forward into faster times, and they're part of another sales pitch.
