Cell Phone Mania

How fun.  A spiffy black SUV pulls over in the slow lane right in front of me, then slows down.  I pull around to pass and I realize what has happened.  The SUV driver has received a phone call on her cell and is having trouble driving and talking at the same time.  The slow lane is a good place for her.  I exit the freeway and pull up to the red light.  In a moment there she is, and now I see the real difficulty.  She is one of those who can’t speak without her hands.  So in one hand she is holding the cell phone to her ear.  With the other she is gesturing as she talks, pausing occasionally to re grab the steering wheel.  What a hoot.  I hope she arrives at her destination safely without hurting anyone else.
