Yup, women, hard to live with'em, hard to live without'em.

I generally agree with your philosophy. One of my friends I paddle with 
is under orders from his wife to carry a cell phone and call in 
everyday. This only serves to make her worry needlessly when there is 
no cellphone coverage, and causes my friend to spend a lot of time 
looking for coverage to keep her from worrying. It is easier when there 
is no possibility for making contact, then the absence of contact is 
not itself a problem. If we were to have a satellite phone, she would 
see no reason why we couldn't call twice a day, and there would be no 
way to explain that water got on the battery and the thing died.
