On Speaker, Lieutenant Uhura

I’ve mentioned before that I don’t care for the inconsiderate bozos who yak on their cell phones in public. Now there’s another annoyance that has been bothering me more and more - speakerphones. Around the office these self-proclaimed big shots shout into their speakerphone and EVERYBODY can hear their conversation. Then you go into their offices, start talking about something else and discover they are on the phone talking to someone. It’s embarassing.

Scotty (James Doohan) has beamed up for the last time. I have very fond memories of him when the Star Trek series originally ran. I hear his wish is to have his ashes taken up into space to join his friend, Gene Roddenberry.
