back on the bike, and counting cell-phone drivers

the journal of Michael Werneburg

twenty-seven years and one million words

Toronto, 2017.11.01

I counted 6 drivers operating their vehicle with a cellphone in hand as I glided past a line of 37 slow-moving cars. It's a depressingly constant number, hanging around 1:10 to ~1:6. Boo!

(I did see the fellow with the red BMW X6 and the personalized license plate again. He's now batting 6 for 6 without a phone in hand.)

I like my buddies from west Texas. I liked them when I was young, I liked them when I was middle-age, I liked them before I was president, and I like them during president, and I like them after president.

—George W. Bush
