She never noticed the lane curved and she hit the dumpster at about 15-20km/hr. That made her look.<br /><br />Exile1981Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-365858055267871677.post-26822544414148706042017-03-31T09:30:05.825-04:002017-03-31T09:30:05.825-04:00We used to be scared of the drunks on the road and...We used to be scared of the drunks on the road and now it has gotten as bad and worse with people texting on their phones. My wife and i live here in rural southern Alabama and take a lot of back roads and have seen they are no safer than the highways. I can't count the times i thought i was following a drunk driver only to get along side of them at a light to see them on their damm phones.<br />I never thought about the Captain Kirk phones. We both have Consumer Cellular and only use them to talk. Even have family members upset with us when we get a text from them and instead of texting back i call and talk to them.Eclectic Kelvinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05672094213892325305noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-365858055267871677.post-67615889615125997012017-03-31T08:07:02.683-04:002017-03-31T08:07:02.683-04:00No matter the age, it is still very relevant and I...No matter the age, it is still very relevant and I also believe this "addiction" has intensified.

IIRC, the quotes from the kid seemed to indicate he was the smarter one of the bunch. Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
