Yup, ya right about that one.
Yesterday, in traffic, which is about ten cars in Armidale during peak hour, I gave way to a lady with a car full of kids exiting from a supermarket parking area. I stopped short to let her out on the road because she looked obviously flustered (not sure if I know anything here to get flustered about), and she drove out without even a glance at me. Too bad for some people eh ??? There little lives must be so miserable.

To quote Einstein "Common sense is the collection of prejudices acquired by age eighteen".

With Television, the internet, and the cell phone being our new teacher how can
our young people develop a sense of anything. You would think all these things would bring about more enlightenment but it seems to be failing. I know my two Grandson spend their whole life dedicated to one of these devices. I try to get them interested in the outdoors and other worldly endeavor to not avail. I often give one of my Grandsons a ride to somewhere, but having a conversation while riding is not possible because he is texting the whole trip.

Good God, don't mention cell phones. My 17 year old daughter wears one like an earring.
