Back in the old days

There was no internet. And there was also no electricity. People actually used candles as their principle source of light! And not necessarily fancy candles, either. Sometimes they used Hanukkah candles which, for some reason, accompanied them on a July move from one city to another.

And when their iPhones died or when they wanted to send important e-mails, they would have to walk an entire block to the coffee shop—in particular, a coffee shop with a vibraphone-heavy soundtrack—and purchase expensive beverages, in order to accomplish these tasks.

(The soundtrack just changed to reggae, completely breaking my train of thought. Internet and electricity arrive tomorrow.)
