Hmmm....What's become a really popular accessory over the past 10 or so years? One that nobody can do without? The CELL PHONE!!!

The think I've noticed is the number of cars and trucks that run red lights! Perfect example: Before Christmas my wife and I were doing a little shopping, and were leaving the shopping area in my Mustang. The traffic light on to the highway at that intersection is a very long light. It's my habit at that light, if I have to wait for the green, is to shift into neutral (it's a 5-speed manual) and remove my foot from the clutch - but I keep my eye on the cross traffic light to watch for it to turn yellow so that I can shift into neutral and be ready to pull out on the green. Anyway that day I wasn't paying as close attention as I normally do, and when my light went green I was still sitting there in neutral. So I pressed in the clutch pedal, shifted to first, and started easing out on the clutch to pull away. I was just starting to move when a DUMP TRUCK blasted through the light from my left! If I had been on the ball, he would have T-Boned me!
