I may get rid of my cell phone when my wife gets rid of me and my daughters won't speak, which I hope never happens. Until then I will stay connected. You will be welcomed to the center of the caving universe if you make it to Austin.

I own a nice GPS , my second, and I find that it isn't used at all on roads. Near home, I usually know where to go,and on road trips,I get a good map. GPS is for use in the woods, or in the brush that passes for woods in Texas:>) I got rid of my cell phone and beeper , aka electronic tether, when I got rid of the job. I haven't missed either of those , and I don't feel any void in my life from lack of instant communication. Most of my thoughts are not worthy of sharing with the world, and the few that might be worthy benefit from a spell of incubation in my head. I suggest that perhaps this is true of many other's thoughts, as well. I like Gill's ideas about the Texas Caver . David Caudle, mostly TAG caver, but coming to visit Texas in April.
