As many of you know one of my few pet peeves is that Floridians are allowed to talk on cell phones, text, check email, and buy things on-line while driving. This is the height of insanity and stupidity—and it is dangerous.
So when I headed for Publix after parking my car I didn't see that the Beamer to my right had a driver inside because of the overly dark window tinting. So as I stepped behind the vehicle it literally leaped out as if fueled by jet propulsion. I was able to do a fast back step like an accomplished square dancer—which I am not unless under life and death pressure.
The tool of a fool at the wheel never noticed that he almost hit me, as I caught a glimpse of him talking away sans seat belt, and sans earpiece, on his cell.
I wish him and all like him a healthy and safe new year—but frankly I doubt that will be the case. These morons will make it a very lucrative year for the attorneys who ultimately represent them.
It is time for our state government to finally wake up, take off their blinders and dark tinting, and pass a law.
I couldn't help but wonder if the guy behind the wheel of the Beamer was an official. Lest you think I jest last week a law enforcement officer was texting while driving and I so wished I caught a pic on my phone—but that would be hypocritical wouldn't it? One needs to stay true to one's pet peeves!
Bye For Now,
Bill
