Ontario California just posted a couple of videos tracking a Mercedes none the less and talking about distracted driving.  I am still enjoying all of the stupidity.  I was behind a moron on the freeway yesterday that seemed to be playing.  (Not behind for long, I use the right pedal to go around.)

Actually it is a tourism video promoting that beautiful city.  Still too funny to think otherwise.  I love the first hit right into the water.

I don't get it, probably never will.

This sort of 'activity' is probably why I'm not on Facebook, Twit-er or Instagram (etc.) and probably why I haven't any friends.  

I haven't a smart phone either - I simply don't see the point.

On the news this morning I heard police have been issuing jay-walking tickets at $30 per. Real tickets, not virtual. Could be a real money-maker.

Watching the news last night, they had images of hoards of 'players' mindlessly walking, standing sitting and staring at their cell phones. It looked like a scene from Dr. Who where everyone is given a device to make life easier, but in reality it is mass mind-control. I'm waiting for the "game-master" to assume full control and they all walk obediently off to the transformation centre. Oh wait... Dr. Who already did that story.

Stole this from one of my facebook friends posts.  Thanks girl I graduated HS with.  Adding to my laughs.  ---And I was just on Jalopnik.com and they posted a video of a moron hitting a parked unoccupied cop car because they were looking down.  Crying from laughing so hard.

He and Janice (wifey) are good people despite the fact they are from London

It was Lawrence.

Seemed like a good man.

Just got back late Wednesday Jonathan, still sorting crap out a month away is a long time.
I am guessing you are referencing Lawrence at MME ?

Wankers ?

Are you still in the UK ?

Had the pleasure of meeting one of your mates at MME a few weeks ago.
He scored a 576 Lucas lamp that I was drooling over but didn't have extra play money or it would be in my hands.
I felt he got a good deal on it from SCUM.

On the way to the MME17 meeting last night in downtown Dublin two young girls ran across the street (they did have the walk signal) both with the phones up.....good thing I was paying attention as most just make a right at that light without looking.

People are having fun with this. Seems that someone in New Zealand was able to make a Hells Angels clubhouse into one of the locations. Bikers lacked a sense of humour it seems.

Please keep playing pokemon go.  In your car and walking around oblivious to the outside world.  THIN THE HERD.  I know that all of you are smart enough to know what to do and what not to do.  For your own security I suggest you get a dashcam or use your phone like I do as a dashcam.

At the same time OT again.  Would you feel safe getting on any plane that doesn't have a human pilot?  Then what makes it safe to take your hands off the wheel and not pay attention to your surroundings.  As for the d-bag artsy fartsy dealer, I knew you were lying because you wanted the attention.  

I doubt anyone is going to have any sort of opposition to those 2 topics and feel free to laugh at the gamers and feel bad for the autonomous morons.
