Mayberry Had Nothing On Buda,Texas

Having to crank(yup a hand crank,no dial) the wall phone(really! Buda, Texas 1950s at my Grandma Molly's Cafe/home) and wait for the operator(Aunt Nell)to come on the line and asking;" Nell, let me holler at (Uncle) Gerald(Nell' son). Is he down at the store?"(his grocery store) Aunt Nell knew where every one in town was at all times and could rapidly track them down anywhere, any time. One also only made emergency calls after midnight to avoid a friendly tongue lashing from Nell who was 'on duty' 24/7/365. Yeh, times have changed.
