As far as communication goes, we have two cellphones [making those stupid things known as 'house phones' utterly pointless], and a PO Box, which would make the equally stupid 'mail recieved at home, where there are no videocameras trained on the box' obsolete if it weren't for the fact that a lot of places refuse to send to PO Boxes. Like those who wish to bill you for the electricity and the cablemodem....

Cellphones, generally speaking, always have a form of caller ID, and some sort of voicemail. They also have a limited number of minutes, generally, which makes me want to kill the telemarketers. Which is why we rarely answer the phones. This was one of the rare times Gremlin answered it for no apparent reason.
