Venting

A friends daughter is bragging on facebook that she has now learned to vine. For those that are not in the know a vine is a short 6 second video that is currently all the rage. She is showing off her new vine. She is driving and drinking a jamba juice. This is the moment she has decided to hold the phone up and while having to tap the screen to start and stop the video. Create her first vine. Are you freaking kidding me. As if driving and talking or texting wasn't bad enough. This bone head is shooting a freaking video.

Vent off.

Yes I did reply to the post. No I was not kind. Yes she will likely take it down as soon as she reads my comment. Hopefully she will not take it down while she is driving.

 
I truly get tired of picking up phones from crumpled cars covered in blood and seeing last texts, calls, etc.

 
I just got rear ended on Monday by a youngster in a Cadillac. I passed him about a mile before the incident and saw him holding a cell phone in one hand while driving. I did not see the phone on him when he got out, but I would not be surprised if he still had it when he hit me.

1 Whalen LED on solid while stopped to make a right turn and he still smacks me good. No damage to me, but I need a right muffler, fender reflector and saddle bag. I somehow managed to keep thebike upright.
