:lol: I assume from your reply that you don't see a problem with distracted driving (texting, talking, etc). Distracted driving has shown to be extremely dangerous as evidenced by a number of YT'ers who post here. Extrapolate those experiences to the general population and we've got a real problem. Distracted driving isn't caused JUST by cell-phone use. A neighbor's daughter rear-ended someone years ago because she WAS fiddling with the radio. (See? Your dad was right! :D )

My observation was mostly about how many people are on cell-phones constantly (not just in their cars) without any concern about their surroundings or that they are being rude.

Last night while working in the garage, I heard a voice and looked up to see a guy jogging by, talking to someone (cellphone strapped to his arm). He was huffing and puffing and I can't imagine how this sounded to the person on the other end of the conversation. Then, not 5 minutes later, 2 women walk past together. It's not unusual to see this in our neighborhood and hear them chatting to each other as they walk. But this time I hear BOTH of them talking at the same time. Sure enough, they're BOTH on their cellphones having separate conversations, seeming oblivious to their walking partner.

I am NOT anti-cellphone. I have an iPhone 6 for work, have had them since they first came out in the early 80's when they were installed in your car. They can be very useful. But I have never felt compelled to be on them every waking minute of the day.

Today's Featured Article - The Nuts and Bolts of Fasteners - Part 2 - by Curtis Von Fange. In our previous article we discussed capscrews, bolts, and nuts along with their relative hardness and thread sizes. In this segment we will finish up on our fasteners and then work with ways to keep them from loosening up in the field. Capscrews, bolts and nuts are not the only means of holding two parts together. When dealing with thinner metals like sheet tin, a long bolt and ... [Read Article]
