Cary, five, no cellular phone here either, the wife fuming, but that is only one of the reasons (g). Are finding out why wireless is in the tank? (vbg).

OT-To all those w/o cell phones who may desire one for safety purposes:

"Any cellphone that ever had service in the past, even a dusty, deactivated one, can still call 911. In other words, you can equip yourself with a genuine-emergency lifeline for next to nothing. All you have to do is get your hands on one of the 25 million retired cellphones rattling around in this country's junk drawers. (If you don't have access to such a drawer, at a friend's house or even your own, used cellphones are going for about $20 on eBay"
