In case of an emergency, you might want to put the letters "ICE" in front of your loved ones' names on your cell phone.
The idea is to tip off emergency workers who they can call in case you're in an accident and can't communicate.
Okay, interesting idea. Can anybody tell me what ICE stands for or is supposed to indicate to emergency workers? That maybe should be part of the story.
It's a question of whether we're going to go forward into the future, or past to the back. Dan Quayle
UPDATE: Thanks for the help. Both Craig and John have informed me that ICE stands for In Case of Emergency. Damn, makes sense but i couldn't figure it out. Sure would have been nice if the reporter in the story told us this.

By the way, I've been reading your blog on and off now for about 2 or 3 years. I enjoy reading what you have to say and especially enjoy the wonderful pictures you post. Keep up the good work!

The funny thing about cellphones is you can press the send key & bring up a list of the last 20 numbers dialed.
