This story reminds me of our many conversations with my father-in-law. We bought him a cell; he would either ‘forget’ how to use it or not keep it charged. We begged him to let us know when he went fishing up some trail or taking a drive. We would tease him we would have to implant a GPS locating device in his back side to track him
