I seldom brought anything. I pulled onto their       lot close to the building, get the information and continued on.        Usually it about a wrong turn I made along the way or needed more       detailed information than the map I had offered.               > The newer Apple Iphones have a feature where if they see a Wifi network they       can't connect to, they will request the Wifi password from nearby Iphones that       are connected to it               My old SE has a similar feature.         I would be hesitant using an unknown wifi signal. Not that I have       anything on my phone. I'm old-fashioned, to be its a phone not an extension of       me. I don't have anything much that's confidential on it.        I never, ever, use it for mobile banking and the like.               > JM> Don't recognise your name. Welcome to Memories.
