[Paddlewise] A First Time Experience

If you'd like me to make you feel better, just consider two scenarios of
cell phone use:

1. Talking on your cell phone all alone from your kayak to see if a fellow
paddler is having some trouble.
vs.
2. Gabbing on the stupid thing to your friends while in an elevator!

If there was ANY cell phone karma in the world, there would be piles of cell
phones at the bottom of every elevator shaft. I think your safe.

One thing I do is I carry an old deactivated cell phone when I kayak. That
way if it falls in the drink, it's no big loss. Deactivated phones can still
call 911 if what I hear is right, so provides some form of communication in
an emergency.

Is my karma tainted?  Are the kayaking gods now just waiting for the chance
to give that phone a good dunking?  Are am I just finally joining the 21st
century.  Heck, at least I did not use it to call in a pizza order for when
we landed.
