Thank the Lordinator (why I hate texting)

Governor Terminates Texting While Driving

One day, driving up 20th Street in Denver, I looked in my rearviewmirror and I saw a girl with her phone in one hand, texting, and a cigarette in the other hand, lit, and I think it was her right pinky finger that was operating the steering wheel.

Another day, driving down 12th Ave, saw Girl On Pink Cruiser Bike; she appeared about twenty feet away and crossed the street in front of me without looking either way. Yep, texting.

And it's not uncommon in this hipster doofus neighborhood of Capitol Hill to find some guy on a mountain bike texting while peddling uphill and having almost no idea that he kinda doesn't have the green light, and that a 2-ton monster of hard steel and oil is about to hit him. Dummie. Gives law-abiding bikers a really bad name.

And this guy died because he was texting.

Oh and that California commuter train that smashed head-on into a freight train a couple weeks ago because the engineer was texting when he should have been working the train properly, which kinda killed 20+ innocent commuters?

Thank you, Governator of Kahlifornia, for passing this legislation. The cyborgs of the future will be much safer now and hopefully every state will follow your state's lead. If anyone calls me while they're driving, don't be offended if I tell you to just call me back. It's because I care. :)
