Cell Phones, etc.

Sara, we have a law here now that you cannot talk on a cell phone while driving the car. My husband has to pull over if his cell phone rings while he's on the road; I have a Blue Tooth. But the fact is, even with fines if caught, people still read their Blackberries and talk on cell phones whilst driving. Sad lesson to learn was the fact that a year and a half ago one of our local bed&breakfast owners died because he was consulting his Blackberry and drove through an intersection getting himself t-boned by a big truck. He died at the scene. It scares me when I see how people are so occupied looking down at those hand-held devices when they are driving and walking along the street. There is a whole generation of 'heads-down; thumbs rotating' people these days.

Guess it's not worth fighting some battles. Some people have to take charge, not compromise, not communicate and then there are others who........do not. And, whoops, here comes the rain, better run and get my laundry off the line.
