"Crazy and wildass" seem to be the key triggers here. I still resent being burdened with the "tracking device" that is my cell phone. These comunication devices have profoundly added and subtracted diminsions to human life in the 21st century the way electricity and the internal combustion engine did at the begining of the 20th. Women and children seem to have imidiately embraced these encombrances that let them feel never alone,able to instantly transport themselves to the company of someone and someplace other ..." it "has shrunk the world irrevocably. The escape from this mutation of "the real world" is one the reasons I flee to the wilderness where I can "be here now".   ...that said,I have thought that I would like to give my family the comfort of letting them know where I'm at when I'm on a solo. Wonder if I could get a SPOT stapled to my ear? I imaigine that's being worked out right now.            ...   "My heros have always been cowboys... ,and I guess that they still are today."  W.Nelson
