Sins of The Open Road
I can't believe I saw it.
I still can't believe it.
I was driving up Route 3 tonight on the way to town for the alumni dinner and I SAW A WOMAN READING WHILE DRIVING.
She wasn't just looking in a book, she was reading a book. She read and drove for several miles, swerving occasionally. She barely glanced up when I honked at her.
I called the State Police and reported her plate number. She was driving a white Toyota and had a bumper sticker that said, "CRONE."
She should have had a bumper sticker that said, "TREACHEROUS IDIOT."
I only hope and pray that they pulled her over before she hurt someone.

More often than not, if I don't see someone swerving around while having a conversation(undoubtedly the most important ever)on their cell phone, then I see a woman driving while applying makeup in the mirror, or a man driving while shaving.
Hang up the bloody phone (what do you have to talk about at 7:30 in the morning!!) and get your lazy rear end out of bed early enough to prepare yourself for the day.
A hearty "AMEN!" to Oversoul! I used to see a woman on my daily commute who would either be brushing her obviously still-wet hair, or--and I still shudder at the thought--in the car with her tweezers out, looking in the rearview mirror! I think I even saw her with her eyelash curler once. I'm all for time management, but that's just insane. Get up five minutes earlier and make the road a more pleasant and SAFE place.
