    I also agree with Denise. As a member of the over-50 crowd, I wasn’t raised with a cell phone. I do carry a basic cell phone in case of emergency, but days go by between uses.

    I’m sure the new smart phones must be interesting, as I keep bumping into people who are looking at their phones and not where they are going! 🙂

    In 1992, I was working on site in Guam when Typhoon Omar hit the island. Power and water went out, but the Guam Hilton where I was staying had a generator. Fortunately, the hotel was built like a fortress. All we could do was stand in the lobby and watch things flying around outside at 150 MPH. After the typhoon passed, I was on the first flight off the island.
