Saturday and Sunday mornings we go for breakfast at the Wagon Yard Saloon. Most times we sit at our favorite table, but it was taken, so was our second favorite table. So we wandered around to the side of the saloon we’d never visited….where the pool tables live and this old defunct payphone. This relic has seen better days just as many of us in this joint have too. At the bar this morning are the usuals having their mix of bloody marys, beers, rum, and cokes for the shameless and then there’s Caroline and me who are here because our previous “old favorite” disappointed us once too many times. We’d seen the price posted on the giant sign for this landmark telling us of breakfast for a few bucks. Sure enough, it’s a reasonable meal and the two of us get out of here for under $12, not including tip. We no longer have to put our orders in as the staff knows we’ll get the same thing as always. Anyway, out back by the pool tables, it felt like we were in a different restaurant, but it was this old coin-operated payphone with the US West logo still on it that captured our nostalgia. I kind of wish this phone worked so I could call myself and leave a voicemail and wait for that voice to come along and remind me to deposit the next quarter or my call will be ended.
