erg i don't like cellphones..to me they're like little leashes. i figure
if you wanna make or get a phone call, go home and do it in private so i
don't have to hear about little hunter getting her first period while i'm
eating dinner.

i'm in category one, more or less. i was once on the road in louisiana and
got a page from bill. i somehow managed to answer the page but miss my
interchange, so i wound up heading for biloxi instead of birmingham. it
sucked, went an hour down the wrong road before i noticed something was
wrong.
