Rambling

This blog is by no means structured. Though I will try to maintain a particular topic on each seperate blog, there will not be any rhyme or reason for the various topics.
 While driving hours and hours every day, my mind wanders over a plethera of ideas.
I listen to XM sattelite radio while driving. Usually Fox News, Rock from 1970's, 1980's, 1960's, Country from 1950's through 1990's and Catholic Channel.
One of the news shows today discussed the commonality of texting while driving. One of my favorite pet peeves. Often I think if I were to honk the truck each time someone texting passed me, I would be deaf by the end of my 9 hour drive. Oddly enough it is mostly adults (as the article mentioned) that obviously should know better. But in my opinion, they are self centered egotists that consider my life and the lives of everyone around them to be far less important than theur text. Surely they feel that they are so much better at multi-tasking that the law is not meant for them. Far too often, they wander across lane dividing lines, onto the shoulder and sadly into the path of other vehicles. They will pass you at a high rate of speed then a mile or two late, you will come up on them, usually in the left lane going much slower than they were. when you get beside them, you can see they are texting or even on a laptop or computer pad. 
The remains of wrecks caused by texting have increased each year since the introduction of texting to the general public by way of their cell phones. The deaths and injuries associated with distracted driving are a sad reality of technology being misused. People in general have become a society of the "Right Here, Right Now". The idea of waiting to respond to a text is foreign to many. Perhaps it is due to the fast food lifestyle that many now survive in.
Just another reason I so look forward to moving back to New Mexico and a more laid back calmer life. Away from the hustle and bustle could be a change that will be welcome.
Once again, it is time for me to hit the sack and get some rest so I can be alert to watch out for all those texters tomorrow.
