Sorry for the delay in responses guys. After posting this I came down with a bad chest infection and a case of hives due to the infection. Now that I am semi back to "normal" I have had time to read the post and respond.

Firstly, I suppose I made my wifes reaction to her leaving her phone behind a little over the top. She was not in a sheer panic but she certainly had some distraught in her voice and I appreciated the concern.

Regarding me and the cell phone. I do have a cell but was not planning on having that be used in the event of an emergency. I am liking the dog tag info solution and putting maybe 3 contacts on there just in case. My ID and such will be in my bag so I am not concerned with them knowing who I am. Just who to call so I can be found by my family. I can see a small accident where I am not able to make a call for a while derailing my commuter attempts and would like to curb that problem before I we get to that bridge. (Wow, there were a lot of possible puns in that last sentence). I just want to make sure someone can contact my family to let them know where I am. That's all.

Thanks for the thoughts guys.
