Catt Wrote:One thing I can not figure out about drivers using their cell phones,why in the hell are they looking down instead of out the windsheild.Several years ago we had a young man talking on his cell phone to his sister on US131 and he drove at speed into the back of a stopped firetruck with all its lights flashing.
The last thing his sister heard was him dieing.
I guess it's been several years, but my wife and I stayed at a bed and breakfast up in New York state on the old Erie mainline and I noticed a NS loco sitting on one of the two main tracks, I noticed some pilot damage. Propriortor of the B&B told me there had been a fatal crossing accident the day before. Someone driving across the tracks was on their cellphone talking to his brother. Didn't hear the horns or notice ther flashing lights, seems impossible. Last thing his brother heard was the impact. Then nothing. That has to be horrible. I share the feelings of some others here, can't understand the need to be in touch constantly. Perhaps because I'm 60 and many of my friends here are in that range as well? A damn shame is all I can say. I don't know anything about this google glasses, I think I prefer it that way.
Hello to all, I don't visit often but think of you all none the less.
