Hah, so true Retro. I managed to go 48 years without a cell phone lurking about.
That said, I decided in my case I wanted one around. I got rid of the land line too and saved money to boot in long run *a lot really). Also I ride as much as 35 miles a day and on weekends upward of 50 if I'm feeling up to it. So, some of us put on more than a few miles, lol.
