On a monthly commute from Gunnison to Grand Junction for the army reserves and a stay with grandma, I found myself a couple of time behind a car where the driver had a magazine place on his steering wheel and he was getting a bit of reading done on the commute. This was before the rise of the internet and the advent of the cellphone – this was old school texting and driving

  1. 1. Once when I was a child, my mom was driving my sister and I home from school. On our way past the drive-in theater, there was a couple standing outside of a car on the side of the road having a heated argument. The argument concluded with the man picking up the woman and putting her in the trunk of the car and then driving out of town.

    2. The Bling Ringing. It’s a documentary about bedazzled cell phones.

    3. I’ve gotta go with Benedict Cumberbatch. Seriously–why didn’t he change his name?

    4. I really hate waiting for an elevator. I consider myself a fairly patient person, but I get really fidgety and cranky while waiting for an elevator to arrive.
