The Seattle climate is similar to California in temperature; the northern air, if you don’t mind basic survival skills, is all together Northern.
People are very cultural. One day when I phoned at the community house and decided I was sufficiently ready with phone skills, I went onto the patio area where I witnessed a strange character on the telephone pole wire with a patch dialer – vociferously dialing numbers.
The keypad tones exclaimed the number tones as if he were practicing a skill at tonic oration. The sounds, such as voices, of the outside were repeted tonically. I had just dialed the phone in the house by myself, and I had the tonal sounds of (Star69) in mind. I recreated those tones using my voice in the hope that the dialer would repete them.
After I sounded the approximate tones of (Star69), the Dialer man copied as he was doing for every sound he heard. He gave out a humph from the throat as he had just dialed the combination for calling in return a number that just called.
I laughed at the humor.
