Mediterranean Plus Doors Closed and Driving and Texting
Sigh. We went for lunch at our favorite local ‘Mediterranean’ food restaurant, the Mediterranean Plus, only to see a big “This Space For Rent” sign on the door. So sad. The last time we were there, we talked with the owner, who said that Chow Time (a Chinese Food Buffet), which had opened near by, was killing him. It is just so sad. We are hoping he is only looking for a more propitious location. We’d love for him to find another location closer to downtown.
On our way to church last night, we looked over at the guy in the blue pick-up next to us, who was texting. He was only going about 20 mph, but when the car three cars up slowed to make a right turn, he didn’t notice, and crashed right into the much bigger pick-up in front of him. CRASH! It made a horrible crunching sound, and his hood got all crinkled up.
Even if Florida doesn’t have any laws against texting, his entire front-end is all smashed to pieces, glass and plastic everywhere, sharp shards. Having to pay for all that damage will be a big penalty. I wonder if it will make any difference in his behavior?

If you thought texting and driving was completely crazy, wait till you hear the one about texting and biking.
In the Maximum city where I live, I have on several occasions now seen guys, who are obviously out of their mind, texting away to glory on their bikes. To most appearances, they look every bit the run-away loonies from an asylum than those daring young men on their jaunty motorcycles.
LOL, BL, you expressed it so well. It’s been a long time since I remember seeing a young biker, except on a bicycle, most of the bikers around here are grizzled . . . but have not seen them texting!
