Just thought I'd take a quick moment to relate an experience I had last night. As usual, I hopped on a local bus that would take me from the train station home. It takes about 5 minutes (but it's a 20-minute walk). To my horror, the bus driver, who was probably new, not only had his white iPod earphones in, but he was texting on his cell phone too - all while driving the bus! Yes, he was driving a 3-ton bus with one hand while texting with the other. Needless to say, he wasn't paying very much attention to the road.

Please, please please people, don't wear your iPod while driving! Please don't text people on your cell phone while you're driving! And please, for the love of Bob, if you drive a public transit bus, don't do both at the same time!

Thanks for your attention.
