You mean there is no person on the planet whose calls you
are not gratified to answer and are sad to have missed?

Nah, what makes me sad is that a grown man -- you are a grown man,

not call him back if he doesn't answer his phone immediately.

Two tubes, pump, patch kit, multitool, cellular telephone.

Switched on all the time, right? Why bother cycling then? On the Great
Escape, MIchael Press would leave his itenerary for the Gestapo!
