How did the world survive

How did the world survive before cell phones? Doesn't it make you wonder? I don't think you can go anywhere and not see/hear people on their cell phones.
I understand their importance when it comes to emergencies. I've had to use mine for those times when a. sliding off the road and ending in a ditch
b. lost and calling for directions
c. calling in someone elses accident
d. what do you need me to pick up at the store
Have you noticed how people just can't stand to be alone at all, and have their phone to their ears constantly... and are jabbering non stop... while they're driving, while they're in the store, when they're dining out, when they're checking in, when they're out on the snowmobile trail and pulled over for a break;
its just non stop. Now they have the fancy little ear phones so you don't even have to hang onto the phone... won't be long and they'll be implanted right into the ear like an earring or a tatto.

Trees Kill

Trees are killers (maybe not premeditated) but they do kill (manslaughter). They stand firm and tall and refuse to move.
This weekend an 8 year old was killed in Kalkaska County on a sledding hill when the sled she and two siblings were sliding down the hill on veered off the path and hit a tree. Despite her helmet she died of massive head injuries.
In Oscodo county a snowmobiler went out of control, hitting a tree. Same results.
Please drive carefully - and watch yourself around the trees.
