Nobody wants just vanilla anymore.
They want strawberry, chocolate, and tutti-frutti, too. And that's why the lights are going out all over California. I was thinking about California and the comfort of no choices when the telephone repairman showed up at my house this week. Yep, a real telephone repairman with a leather tool belt and everything, just like when Ma Bell used to be the only game in town. There had been buzzing noises on my telephone lines for weeks and more crackling and snapping than a roomful of teen-age boys attacking bags of potato chips.
