Washington

My parents live in Washington and were telling me the other day that it is now illegal for them to talk on a cell phone and drive at the same time. I think it is crazy to enforce that. First of all, if that is the law, then what about driving and... smoking, eating, reading, putting on makeup, and all the other things people do while they are driving. I am sure most of us never have both hands on the wheel. I actually find that catching up on my phone calls is perfect for a car ride. The kids are usually quiet and buckled in and I can get the calls made without them interrupting me. (usually). I think that it is crazy for us to be told we can't decide whether we are capable of doing two things at once. Maybe it is safer to not talk on the phone and drive at the same time, but this is just the beginning of a long list of laws that are going to take away more of our rights...... pretty soon it will be illegal to drink some nice refreshing water while driving down the road.... and maybe we will no longer be aloud to turn the radio station, or sing with the cd player..... because that can be very distracting!.....
Speaking of Washington, I did find some great tickets to come visit the end of August. The girls and I will be flying roundtrip out of Cincinnati for $400 total! Looking forward to it. I will let you know if I get pulled over for talking on my phone while driving...
