My parents lived in a small town called Yellowknife in Canada many years ago, before there was a highway there. Float planes would land on Great Slave Lake until it froze over, then skid planes. In the spring when the ice got thin, there was a pool collected by the first pilot who landed a float plane. They would come in and gently skim the ice to break it up before settling onto the water. Just occurred to me as I typed this, I never asked what happened if somebody tried it too soon and the ice wouldn’t break. Unfortunately it’s too late to ask now, my parents are both gone.
There’s decent odds the land line for the house still has the same number. What’s the worst that can come from a phone call? I mean besides having to go into hiding at a clown college.
They only had a landline, and I don’t remember it. Just the ones from previous houses many years earlier. Again, why are we talking about my dead parents’ phone?
Ohhhhh I get it. No the ice thing was in Yellowknife, Canada, where my parents lived before I was even born, and they didn’t even have a phone there. For my whole life they lived in California and Oregon.

You remember their old phone number?
Not their last one but I remember the phone # we had when I was in high school and an earlier one, why?

I bet they wondered if you could call and ask the current resident of your parents old house about the planes breaking the ice.
