LOL! I couldn't agree with you more! Well actually there are times when 
I want to scream at the top of my lungs at the driver next to/in front 
of/behind me and tell them what a freakin' idiot they are.

I'll second that. THe last time I was driving in my car and talking on a 
cell phone (over a year ago) I was argueing with the wife and blew right 
through a red light. Considering that it was evening rush hour, I was 
amazed that I didn't cause an accident. I said to my self, "Never again."

Besides, how the heck did we manage our lives before cell phones and pagers?

There is a particular, terribly designed, intersection/rotary that I go 
through on a regular basis. Makes me start singing Johnny Cash: "I'm 
goin' down, down, down, in a burnin' ring of fire."

What? I always thought it was "Take the Wrong Way Home." At least that's 
how I've been able to find some fun little roads.


My final word on cell phones (at least for today): The best on screen 
use for a cell phone award goes to Ben Stiller and Jenna Elfman in 
"Keeping the Faith."
