Once near an I-64 exit, I walked up the exit to the guard at a military base and he called a trow truck (his brother-in-law). Another time, a clerk at a convenience store made the call for me and offered me a soda while I waited for it to arrive.<br /><br />Look, I know people don't feel safe without a 24/7 lifeline, but to me that's not living. We managed to deal with emergencies before cell phones, so there is a precedent, although I seem to be the last person left willing to live that way.<br /><br />I write or print out directions when I go somewhere new and if I get turned around, I pull out a map or stop and ask for directions from strangers or at a gas station. I can't stand the thought of being dependent on a device every time I leave my house.<br /><br />P.S. My car problem was finally diagnosed by my neighborhood mechanic who said, "We're going to fix it for good, Karen. We can't have you losing your religion on the side of the road." I didn't tell him I don't have any religion to lose.Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04610823643625979862noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5792662252069133648.post-35112190171411684402018-03-23T09:39:33.145-04:002018-03-23T09:39:33.145-04:00The problem is there are no options.

How are you going to call?<br /><br />Tom Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
