My stepdaughter pointed it out, when I told I didn't need it, as it was going to either stay in the car, or in my hockey bag and I wasn't going to use it, she was shocked. She asked me what are you going to do if your car breaks down, or something. When I told her, I used to go everywhere without one, and besides there are roadside phones, phonebooths, and I can always get out and walk. She looked like I had just shot her dog, and all I did was decide NOT to bring my cell phone with me. When I was growing up I was told to call home periodically. It was up to me to figure out how, I didn't have a phone on my hip. Kids these days ...
