Cell Phones

News today, picked up by our sterling editor John S. has it that hand-free cell phone use while driving cause as many accidents as any other cell phone usage. While on the fastest freeways catching sight of cell phones in action I have a baby. One day soon my auto will self-destruct from excessive horn use, or I'll get a whopping great ticket from 'screaming' with the horn about cell phone useage. I've seen drivers on the phone, reading from a sheet of paper while putting on lipstick. I HAVE!!

After avoiding cell phone ownership for years I recently buckled and got three, three different numbers: Wife, Son, Me. Astonishingly I found that, for example, the audio quality is excellent, better than two of our cordless phones. Not so long ago 2 meters Amateur Radio was a forerunner of cell phones. I admire Verizon for many things, one of which is their retaining use of the word "Wireless," which echoes radio history. I admire their, "For English stay on the line," and for hiring James Earle Jones whom I actually love, even though I've never met him. He played Jack Johnson on the stage, and in the movie. I'm wandering aren't I? It's late at night. Late at night I wander. What do you do? Talk on your cell phone? Way to go! Ha!
