Re: [at-l] Hellooooo!

I can understand your not wanting to have a watch on the trail, although
I will have one.  I like to take my watch off on weekends for the same
reason.  I just don't want to live by a schedule like I have to during
the week.  It gives one the sense of freedom from the routine.  So...no
watch for Billie!  I like your style!
