Before cell phones, I didn't believe in the walking dead. I had seen couch potatoes and knew they were real, but they just laid there and didn't move. The cell phone zombies are like somebody very intent on watching TV while they are walking around, or driving, or should be paying attention in school. It is true that you can be in two places at one time, but in one of those places, you might get run over, or fall in a pot hole, maybe walk into a lamp post. If my cell phone is even turned on while I am driving, I won't answer it unless I pull off the side of the road and stop. If the cell phone is turned on at all when I am riding, it is playing music through the helmet speakers at a low volume and in airplane mode. It is usually inside the tank bag and I can't see it and don't want to. I can always go back to the missed calls when I get to where I am going safely. I lived most of my life without the entire world being able to access me immediately, and there is even less reason for them to be able to do it now that I am semi-retired. If they really want to contact me, they can send an email or leave a message on the land line answering device. I will call them back when I come in the house at dark 30 (... or not, if I don't want to talk to them anyway). Mid-term and local elections in 2026... there will be a lot of people calling who I don't want to talk to.
Awesome song to play loud enough while at a stop sign/red light/train & see approvals all around some might even turn own music down/off. Thankfully none jump out line dancing.
Did you buy a full set or only one?Ya, so fyi, I wandered around the local mall & ck out these “trendy” earrings for teens & those effected/afflicted by trends.

Yeah, looks good, but probably tastes like dirt.

The dog digs them up and leaves the rest of the mole on my doorstep. Not sure what she wants me to do with it.
But those were the educated ones. What about the ones that were not educated?Back in the dark days when I used to have to work for a living, I did so at a large university in my area. You already know how students are with cell phones and the students there were no exception.
It never failed, EVERY semester at least two students were hit by cars on campus because they were looking at their damned phones while walking out from between parked cars into the street. Guess their mama didn't teach em to look both ways before walking out into the street.
Another thing about some students. Seems that their mama didn't teach em how to dress themselves either. I always marveled at the idiots with only sweatpants and light sweatshirts on while the world is covered in snow and ice and the wind chills down below zero. Gloves? Who needs em! And it's always the guys who can't dress themselves. The women did much better.
