Never even considered there might be one coming. Preoccupation - kind of like cell phones and automobiles! <br /> <br />Jen <br />[/quote] <br />[/quote] <br /> <br />Hi all <br /> <br />Here in our area about 6 months ago we had a cell phone talker / train crash. A lady was driving one car while her daughter followed her in another car. The mother was talking on a cell phone. She drove through the down crossing gate and into the train. The train did not hit her, SHE HIT THE TRAIN. Whoever she was speaking with heard her last words. She never spoke any others. Imagine the shock her poor daughter felt seeing the death of her mother and not being able to do anything to stop it. <br /> <br />Do we really need to speak to someone that bad? I sure don't. <br /> <br />Stay safe, and Look, Listen, and Live <br /> <br />Don't forget the troops <br /> <br />Ed for president
