With any luck some of us will be have an opportunity to confront a couple legislators regarding the issues in handout form that can found at the link in this post. They are making the rounds of the counties in this area so feel free too use as you wish. Do so at your own peril however as the president of ABATE of Florida, INC. has insinuated that some of us who have confronted legislators in the past do not know what we are doing. Why some of us were so bold as to actually ask them how they stand on certain issues. O.K. I admit we did not kiss them or give them money to use as "they deem appropriate".
But then Hey, he admits he just has to use a cell phone while driving. Ain't know two ways about it. Oh damn I didn't type this in my out loud key board did I?

OH JOY
Well fed ex delivered my new and improved cell phone w/ bells and whistles. I wanted the camera option and the camera I wanted came with all the bells and whistles which I doubt I will use cause I can't understand the instructions. Though it does feel kinda cool to be able to say my camera has all the bells and whistles (just don't ask me how to use them). Maybe I can get a kid to show me how.
It is somewhat disappointing that I locked myself into a contract on a phone that has much smaller buttons than pictured on the web. Now I gots ta buy new glasses too. Though I don't know how I will compensate for my fat fingers.
What I found interesting and feel it my public duty to warn the general public about, is the disclaimers or warnings that accompanied it. For instance right off the bat they tell ya "don't get it wet." So I'm wondering if they was watching when I dropped my current phone in the toilet. What I did not do however (and lord knows I don't know why I didn't) was as they warn against, try and dry it out in the microwave.
Now I am guilty of putting various things in the microwave that probably should not be there. Sometimes I use it for storage (only if there is enough Peanut Butter to get me through the week). But I have cut down ever since I dried the cat in it and now my lady says every thing taste like (insert synonym for "kitty"). But ya ever see a fork spark in one of them babies?
They also warn against putting the camera to you face and looking directly into the "light diode". Which is a good thing cause the first picture I was gonna take was of my pupil.
What is really disappointing is they warn against eating the battery as it is toxic. Now I ain't fer sure, but I don't think (yeah a lot of the times I don't) I'm the only one that has ever sat on the couch while watching the TV guide channel passing the time while touching one of them there 9 volt batteries to the tip of my tongue. This will only sound strange to either them what ain't done it or those who live in Wakulla County. If you haven't done it I highly recommend it and see if it don't fire up your imagination.
Another warning has to do with, when using the music application, Do not turn it up full blast and stick it to your ear. What??? What did you say??? To do so repeatedly (like once ain't enough) could result in hearing loss and though they don't say it, I'm thinking distortion of your fav song may result too.
I did want the FM radio option as my "geezer glider" don't got no radio and I miss listening to the drug induced ramblings (oh yeah hes cured) of Limbaugh saying, "I told ya so" (ok I admit I was a fan at one time when, ya know, when he didn't stray to far from the truth. But hey, it's his damn program). But then I read where the damn thing only works if ya use the bluetooth thingy which doubles as an antenna and not the high priced head phones they sold me to go with it (those work with the down loadable tunes you are free to purchase). So if ya see me riding with a blue tooth thingy I aint talkin on the cell phone Im listening to Rush (uh huh).
Of real note however is that on Page 93 of this 94 page little how to use your brand new cell phone with all the bels and whistles thingy booklet is entitled "Smart Practices While Driving". Now I can't go over all the pearls of wisdom in this little missive. But there are 3 little bits that all should take note of:
1. When placing a call while driving. Dial a few numbers. Look at the road, then dial some more.
2. Do not take notes while driving. OK repeat after me, do not take notes while driving.
3. But what I love, I mean like really love. Is do not position phone in such a manner as to be between you and the air bag. Now why would they say that you might wonder. Well, I'll tell ya why they say that. Ya wanna know why they say that?
Cause when ya run over my ass while yaking on the phone the air bag is liable to go off and shove the damn thing down your throat which of course will get it wet and violate your damn warranty. Yepper.
