So the story goes; a guy gets a text from a neighbour with a pic attached.
"Is this your dog" she asks
"Yeah, but don't worry, he doesn't bite" he says
"It's not that. He's throwing bricks at people on the sidewalk"

In Ōtsuchi, Japan, there is a phone booth called the Wind Phone. Inside is a telephone that isn't connected. Those grieving can enter the booth and dial the phone to speak to those they have lost; to say the words they wished they'd said while their loved one still lived.
