I can't watch those 1:30, 1:45, 2:30 videos unless I really want the information. Some of those people are really good (medical) but I'm not going to watch for that length of time. I guess a few of them make really good bank though, in addition to making quality content.

for the most part they like to talk considerably more than I like to listen.




I don't even try anything longer than 6 minutes.

I used to live in Brea and traveled Fullerton Road over those hills countless time. I left CA in 1996 and Fullerton Rd. had been straightened out quite a bit -- it was no longer a road with many curves and turns. I think it was shortened and straightened out about 1990.

If you look at gGoogle Maps it shows Fullerton as North Harbor or just Harbor until it gets to Rowland Heights.

Lots of development.

I think it was called exchange prefix? I know it was called something.



here in NYC, it had changed to all numbers some time in the 60's I believe, since we moved to Staten Island in 66, and the telephone number was the 3 numbers....
