Wow!

Last week (Thursday?), I was listening to WGN radio here in Chicago
(AM 720), and this unusual female voice was reading the weather. After
a bit of flap about the host handing the wrong weather report to the
substitute weather person ("first weatherman we've had in a long time
with a full head of hair "), Roger Triemstra, the usual weatherman,
called in.

He usually calls in from wherever he is around dinnertime. Problem
was, as he said, "I've never used a phone like this before. It looks
just like a normal pay phone, but it kept saying my credit card is
invalid."
