I wasn’t going to continue this, but I was having a discussion with my normal coffee buds and this issue came up. And, several folks asserted facts that were plainly untrue.

I have been ranting about the claims that talking on the phone while driving is dangerous- but talking to your fellow passengers is not. That is such malarkey- since these actions all involve the same parts of our brain. Now, texting while driving- that is very different. Because the driver is NOT looking at the road, but at his/her cell phone…

What a weekend this will be. It feels like it was a second ago this young child was born. But, no- he is almost 22 now. The youngest of the brood. About to graduate from the University of Michigan. His first choice- no, his only choice- school.
