Default Another Village Phone Book

Received a monster Phone Book today. Probably 50,000 of these distributed. A mile high stack to feed the recycling furnaces. We seldom use a phone book anymore.

Two phone books to the curb this morning...last years and the new monster book.
The larger size format to avoid thickness is ridiculous.
We have not opened a phone book in who knows how many years.
There should be an opt out option that would save a lot of paper and the source of it.

BTW, about phone books.

My wife doesn't go on the internet, so she brought our old phone book down here from Wisconsin,
5 years ago and looks up addresses all the time to send out cards up north.

Something to look forward to when I get to the house tonight. Wasn’t sure what I would do for 10 days but now I am set.

Car went past at speed with the sliding rear door open and a kneeling woman throwing them out to the opposite side of the road

Hopefully she was checking for walkers etc. but I doubt it
