Hang up and drive

I saw an amazing and rather stupid scene yesterday. A young teenager riding his bike down a very busy highway at a very high rate of speed - texting. Both of his hands were holding the phone and he was texting and looking down at his hands. OMG!!

At least he wasn't in a car. And if and when he ever does get to drive a car I am certain he will still be texting. I am always amazed at what some people will do.

Are we that much in a hurry that we can't stop for a few minutes and send a message? Or does texting consume our entire scope of life? I don't understand the whole texting bit.

Or the constant cell phone to the ear. I see people standing in line at the grocery store talking and letting the clerk wait till they are done holding up everyone else. People in the doctor's office, the movies and yes even church on the cell phones. Give me a break not a ring.

Tex r Cana

I see scary headlines everywhere. They send chills up my spine and cause the hair on my arms to be straight up soldiers. Not a pretty sight. This one involves - texting - another anomaly that can be viewed anywhere and everywhere - even at meetings.

I don't text, never have and quite possibly never will. I don't have anything against texting - even though I thinks it's STUPID. Whatever!!!!



So this dudette is multi-tasking walking and texting and falls off the sidewalk. Sprained the ankle, oh my. I can do that even without texting - so there. I can just imagine what predicament's I would find myself into if I did text. I would spend many hours in the hospital emergency waiting room.

I have seen people texting while driving - worser than driving while on the cell phone. I believe texting is here to stay and will be on the naughty list for quite some time. At least with texting you do not have to listen to a strangers soap opera while riding in the elevator. For that reason - I am happy. Text away............................
