I'm safe from that. I don't have an iPhone, and the battery on my  
cell phone is only good for a couple of hours. Don't have text  
messaging or internet on the phone.


All I have on the cell phone is it rings if someone does happen to  
call and voice mail in case the battery is dead or I forgot to take  
it off the charger when I left the house.




Don't have a cell phone. It's quiet no matter where I am.

Yeah, I know. Fortunately, I don't do FaceBook,


I have a crackbook page, but I hardly ever go there. The last time I opened 
facebook I was so overwhelmed by the sheer volume of stuff on my page that I 
ran away.

I just don't have time for it.

Must plow through the detritus with blinders firmly on. Once caught in  
the quagmire of YouTube you are lost for the day. God forbid something  
links me into FaceBook, which will link me into YouTube, which takes  
me out to HULU.


Life is too short.


Yeah, I know. Fortunately, I don't do FaceBook, and I don't yet know 
what HULU is ... although I guess I could Google it.

Bum!  I'm coming down 19/20th August to take K & C around the natural
