I'm impressed that kids of my grand-children's age immediately buckle up
with seat belts, even though sometimes my grown kids forget.

So, I guess I'm too much Old School.
How can anyone think it's OK to "text" while driving.

I have a hard time with Oregon's strict no-cell-phone law,
because I somehow feel talking on a phone is within the bounds.
I drink coffee, I listen to the radio, I yell at the kids when needed.
But I do try very hard to not answer the phone if it rings, and I don't initiate calls.

For me, using a GPS would be too much, let alone surfing the internet while driving.

But "texting" ??? Will somebody please cut off their thumbs.
