I often think of the incredible amounts of driving I did around the continent as a young guy, most often in a rickety old car of some sort. Lots of potentially perilous situations were faced, untold days spent in very remote areas, got lost many times in unfamiliar territory...all without a cell phone. Now, most people feel naked and strange if they forget to bring their cell to buy milk at the corner store.
