strange sight on the drive in

Guy on the Causeway behind me this morning was playing a harmonica for about 18 of the 23 miles...never seen that before...I wonder if it was Neil Young, Bob Dylan, or John Popper...after all, Jazz Fest is just around the corner, they likely need to make sure they are in peak shape...

If it was a 1959 Biodiesel Lincoln it could be Neil Young.

I hope it was a hands-free harmonica.

nope

Only in weezianna...

::drafts letter to Happy's state legislators about the dangers of playing harmonica while driving::

Proposed billboard: "Don't cross-harp and drive."

is this really any worse than you playing your vuvuzula while driving?

Isn't John Popper dead?


Hey, hey, hey! Keep it clean in here.

Popper didn't die yet. He just lost some weight.

Sorry, I must've mis-remembered why he was in the news some years ago...I received a PM pointing out that he's alive, and a libertarian...uh oh...was that political?

In barely related subject, a friend was rearended by a car this weekend. She sustained some injury. Driver that hit her, said to the police officer...and I quote...."Its not my fault, the article that I was reading was poorly written and I lost my place..."
I'm sure she also votes and breeds.

Saw a woman applying eye make-up while driving on the interstate on Friday. I was doing 70 and she passed me while applying said make-up.

^^^^^always applies his makeup before he leaves the house

And she condemns herself to full fault through stupidity...

Hopefull it's no injury that can't be easily healed from and won't produce any long-term complications beyond a propensity to throw rocks at people who are on their phone while driving!

poor John Popper

This also shows how people don't want to take any responsibility for their actions. It's 'always' someone else's fault.

make note: But officer I was correcting grammer and spelling on BOL. That will work

Too many people like that in the world!

I don't text and drive, have a 15 year old that will soon be driving and the example needs to be set. Can I do it? Yes, without any problems. But I don't. Same with drinking and driving, even if it is 1 beer. Either MsGilmore drives home if we've been to dinner and I had a beer, or if she orders wine I abstain (eagerly anticipating the day he gets his license so we can both get totally blitzed and make him drive!). Again, just about setting the proper example for our kid.

They did away with the to go cups in LA?

A few years ago, I saw a driver on the interstate in Nebraska with her left foot out the window by the left side mirror. Feet on dashboards and/or out the window is one of my pet peeves!!

What about Alanis?

She plays the harmonica!

<----- saw someone shaving in the car once.

A new low....
A guy on his Harley, riding, on the highway....TEXTING!! Really!?!?! Oh, I have got to get some air horns installed on my truck!!!

Looking in the rearview mirror?

No. It actually was a Mazda.

Was the Harley the issue or someone on a Harley that can text.

I see people using electric razors daily while driving...

Make sure he takes notes!

You know they make "Bluethooth ready" helmets. So you can receive and make phone calls while riding a motorcycle. Adverstised as having good enough sound clarity to be used at 100 mph....
Does nobody see a problem with this? Even beyond the safety factor, I ride my bike to be away from the phone.....and go 100 mph!

So the texting caused him to drive to slowly?

I tried my bluetooth on my Harley. Too much engine and road noise to use it with a half helmet/no helmet. Didn't try it with my full face helmet because I only wear it when it is 25 degrees or colder.

I too ride to get away from the phone but last year when I changed jobs I needed to check in often.
