Do you ever actually think about the coolness of it?

Yes, I do. I remember my mom tying 20 cents in the corner of a handkerchief in case I needed to use a payphone. I think I was reincarnated anyway because now and then when I'm in a car I'll say DANG this is so strange - just to think I am in a moving vehicle - amazing! I often wonder what brings on that kind of feeling.
