  Glad to know of "hoaxes". Hate to pay for my cell, but drive long 
distance, mostly alone and disabled. I don't use it for conversation.
By the way, I get to call DPS Dispatch (think you can too) if car 
breaks down and need tow. Ask for a Trooper—they know the good from the 
dishonest and will call the best one for you. Those tow trk drivers 
really want to stay on good side of Troopers. I'll find that # and post 
it asap. "woman alone" best to wait for DPS help instead of flagging 
down who knows who. mm
