Smoke Signals - and Friends Encouragement

> Did you get a phone yet or should i send up some flairs into the sky to confirm? Red Flair is no, Green Flair is i will attend. Look to the north around 430pm.

> This is easier in terms of choosing your communications and disruptions!!

> On a positive note, it sure will cut down on the telemarketing calls.

> did u just read "Into the Wild" by Jon Krakauer?

> Great idea. You are very right in your thoughts. Between the constant flood of emails, half of them garbage, and the cost involved with having a cell phone it is definitely a good idea to take a break from it. There are plenty of low cost pre-paid options out there these days for emergencies, etc. When I was in Sudan I really didn't miss having a cell or watching TV. It sucks to feel tied down or distracted by technology sometimes. WiFi Internet is generally readily available these days for free anyways and there are way to check voicemail through email.

> Feels rightous and good, I know, but I think this decision was not a well-thought out move for the long run, my good man.The bird is not free: It is still caged...

> Or maybe you could send up smoke signals.
