My daughter's dad said he was going camping. Lol. Yet, he's not a camper. His phone has been making a weird sound all week like he left the country. We're not together, though we do get along and chat occasionally. Personally, I think he's out of the country.

And as far as my own dad goes, he's in Florida. I'm in California, though I wasn't born here and will be leaving permanently soon.

So, no dads on father's day in my home.

Yet, I just made a lovely dinner for my daughter and I still had a nice day.

What about you?

I would suppose people use their phones now. The internet destroyed the magazine business and that is even before the smart phone. "Goldstein said circulation woes throughout the field show "we are an anachronism; we are dinosaurs; we are elephants going to the bone cemetery to die.... The delivery system has changed, and we have to change with it if we want to survive."

Founded in 1968, Screw was successful in its early years. Its mix of scatological editorials, pornographic pictures and tongue-and-cheek articles sold as many as 140,000 copies a week. By last year, sales had dipped to around 30,000." https://www.wired.com/2003/11/porn-mag-sales-going-limp/

That makes sense. I never considered that. Interesting. So, it's not necessarily less prevalent today but magazines are.
