Talking on the phone is one thing. Before blue tooth I wouldn’t answer my phone if I was driving. I will now but shut down the conversation saying I’ll call back later. But drivers with their faces in their phones? WHY? What is so fucking important? A guy almost wiped me out Friday morning. Him in middle lane, me passing in left as he drifts left into me because he’s got his face in his phone looking at instagram doing 70 mph?!?!?!? Assholes! I see it constantly.

When I first got a phone with Bluetooth and I got a headset I thought driving while talking would be okay. It didn’t take me long to realize that still steals way too much attention from driving. I didn’t completely stop. I used to talk with my mom while I was driving, but when things started to get a little hairy I would tell her I had to hang up and pay attention to my driving. I rarely talk while driving anymore.

I used to use the hands-free system in my car to talk to friends or family during my hour long commute when I worked at the U of I. But I would only talk while I was on the highway. As soon as I got close to my exit, I ended the conversation. Driving on a highway in light traffic is fine with hands-free. But once I get into traffic, forget it. I'm too busy paying attention to my driving to carry on a conversation.
And while I hate everything about Teslas, most of those people who ran into the back of that pack of cars simply weren't paying attention or were driving too fast for conditions.

Late to the party, but...
Hip replacement, just a little over a month to go for mine. I can't wait! Hurts like a mofo. Gout, yep, been dealing with that for 7 years. Although I had a work-mate that had it in his mid 30's, I didn't get it till I was 48. Awful, awful, awful. I took it as a sign from God to slow down on things I overindulged in, and it helped. (Dropped a bunch of weight, too.) Indomethicin helped more. Haven't had an attack for almost 2 years. (Knock wood...) Did I say awful? Yep, awful. Worst. Shit. Ever. Tech... Currently running iDrive8, and I LOVE it. I shut off all that driver assist crap, and the rest of the tech is AWESOME!!! I'm only 55, and leaving those lawns that I should right now. |

Years ago I got some serious knee pain in my right knee. Have been doing leg/knee exercises since and the pain went away. Hope it stays gone but you never know. I walk 3 miles almost every night and that helps too. Never had gout but I watch my wife suffer with it. No fun at all, poor girl. I hope you don't get it again, Hubba. |

She takes Allopurinol for the gout. She gets gout from too much uric acid which comes from kidney disease that she's had for a few years. |

My 1985 Mazda RX-7 had a manual choke. It was the base model with the cute, little 4-barrel carburetor. The primaries were the size of dimes and the secondaries were the size of nickels.
Loved that car.
