Extinct in America

I recently got an email about 24 things about to become extinct in America.  Most of them were no surprise because we've seen them coming due to the internet and new technology.  
The Wild Horses and the Milkman kinda surprised me because I thought they were already extinct.  
I think the saddest one is #9 - but thanks to Stevie I still get a letter now and then - just because he's such a sweetie and he knows it brings me a smile and makes my day.  
Here's the list in case you weren't aware:

15-The Swimming Hole
14-Answering Machines
