The off switch helps

Letter from Kim Washmon

Modern Life – May 2004 – Colorado Central Magazine

Dear Ed:

I only turn my cell phone on when I want to make a call. I don’t feel I can be disturbed with the phone off. My brother and my stepson are the only people with my cell number, also. So I’m able to relax even more knowing, if I feel like it, I can call a friend when a thought of them pops up, but no one can reach me with the phone off.

I only got the cell phone because I have to be “on call” for my job once in a while and without it I would be stuck to locations from which I could respond by telephone to a page within ten minutes. So it doesn’t have to be as bad as I used to imagine it would be.

Keep America Free, repeal the so-called Patriot Act.
