JKB,
If we knew how many accidents there are due to people talking on cell phones or texting while driving I think we'd be amazed (or not). Glad you lucked out on the potential accidents. I know of a couple that was hospitalized for several weeks after being hit head on by a teenager texting while she was driving.
Right after I got my present dog from the humane shelter she got loose and was standing in the highway oblivious to cars. A woman on a cell phone missed her by inches and as far as I could tell never saw here. Never mind the dog is really white as she's about as white as they come with big brown patches. She's also a large dog.
One day I had to rush to UPS to ship off some frozen fish. It had taken longer to get things done that day then I had planned and it was a rush to get the fish in boxes etc. I also like to get them out of the freezer as late as possible for obvious reasons. Anyway not long out of my driveway I got behind this woman that was going 40 mph and talking on her cell phone. I could see it clearly as I tried to pass her a couple of times but backed off as it was a winding road. Behind me there must have been 20 cars all packed together. I couldn't pass her and even tried to get her attention by turning on my lights etc. I was hoping when she saw the caravan behind her she would speed up. Never did for about 20 miles and I almost missed shipping my boxes by a minute or two. (The UPS terminal was a hour away).
Hey Chris I hear the budget cuts will probably close several southern federal trout hatcheries. Hear anything about that? It would seem the revenue generated by these hatcheries would more than make up for their costs. And of course this adds more to the unemployment lines.
