That's a Kentucky phone number.
Maybe he was from Ohio.
I was from Ohio then Kentucky before Georgia.
I am not endorsing anything except possibly admitting strange stuff about me.

You'll think he is from Ohio - he could be an alien from another plane of existence entirely!

I know those Ohio folk can be a little, well, very odd.

More sociable than just, "CLOSED". I notice, "We Card", also.

I once called Summit Electronics in Boca Raton and the phone was answered with, "Who dis be?"

To which I answered, "Is this Summit Electronics?"

Response, "It be. Dey all be out to lunch, call back later."

That still is my favorite phone conversation--a perfectly communicated message in West African dialect.

Are you sure climbing the socio-economic ladder is important?

Mark 10:21 (NRSVCE)
21 Jesus, looking at him, loved him and said, “You lack one thing; go, sell what you own, and give the money to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; then come, follow me.”

Luke 9:58 (NRSVCE)
58 And Jesus said to him, “Foxes have holes, and birds of the air have nests; but the Son of Man has nowhere to lay his head.”

At least as far as it helps ensure (?) safer and healthier lives (not , necessarily, larger and ever-larger heaps of possessions,) yes. Safety and health require money. And the beautiful passages to which you refer enrich life even further. Perhaps, a blending of priorities and values is desirable?

Important? Perhaps only in so far as to provide adequately for one's family and loved ones; man needs his equivalent of that fox's hole while here on this planet.

Man, that is one ugly baby. Sort of reminds me of the "Henry" cartoon character of days gone by, but only after his eyes have been opened by today's world.

Need all those eyes - looking for wherever I have wandered off to again.

Good point there - opened by today's world; probably pull the blanket over my head were I to look to carefully at the world right now.
