I like that she is called a newsreader and not a journalist. I would like for ours to be called indoctrinators, but newsreader would be a good start.

I opened the thread hoping it was my former daughter in law. Girl could NOT put aside her 24/7 texting habit. Annoying as hell.

I am sitting about 100m from the spot where this happened, which is behind a small upscale mall called the “MailBox”.

That whole area is something of a deathtrap for the unwary. Smooth stone steps that become glissades of bone-breaking horror in the wet, and so forth.

She was on a comparatively safe bit, where a misstep merely drops you into 12ft-deep canal water.

Ah Birmingham! Harsh school of life and winnower of the gene-pool! But I’m glad she was OK.

Too bad the video wasn’t a little clearer. Could have been in the running for America’s Funniest Home Video.

In general I don’t have a lot of sympathy for people who aren’t paying attention to their surrondings especially if they’re texting while walking OR driving.

There’s a time and place for everything........and that ain’t it.

Just so everyone knows, I have never texted in my life, don’t plan to. Have had a tracphone for about a year (1st cellphone) and am thinking about throwing it in the river..................OK, I’m off my soapbox now. lol
