[Artemisia] the fossil state (was circlets)

[L.J. Richards]

oh yeah, my little brother used to break the connection on their party line 
when he wanted to use the phone. Trouble was, everybody asked Paul what was 
wrong with their phones.  See Paul was the telephone lineman with whom my 
little brother was staying with (the town boys where my Mom had to live were 
not the nicest type so it was thought that Paul's place out of town would be 
better for him).  Of course, when folk described the problem, etc., Paul 
knew exactly what had happenjed and who the little squirt was that 'dun' it. 
Bill decided it wasn't worth doing anymore (ha).
