cellphones: roadside help, hazard...
this really isn't going to be some profound thought. that was never the intention. just an observation i made during my trek to school this morning. i was sitting at an intersection in town. in the lane directly opposite from me a man appeared to be having some trouble with his car. the car was stopped in the middle of the lane, hazard lights off, and the owner of the vehicle was pacing around the car while chatting on his cellphone. meanwhile traffic continued to make its way around this new obstacle. while this man's use of the cellphone was probably securing aid to his troubled car, it also brought him within inches of becoming someone's hood ornament. oblivious to the ongoing traffic, this preoccupied man paced in and out of turning lanes and traffic as he moved around his car. i watched from across the intesection as this unfortunate event came closer to becoming more unfortunate as cars dodged the immobile car and then the distracted cellphone-yaking man.
so that's what i got so far. i'm heading to class now. and remember that when you're chatting on your cellphone there is a world spinning on around you. try to step out of the mess for a second. i just don't think cars and cellphones mix very well, whatever the case may be.
ok, i gotta go.
