I don't have and won't have a cell phone. My excuse is that when I am out of touch I want to be out of touch. Not having one doesn't immunize me, of course, from being affected by the woman who drives obliviously with her cell phone glued to her face through two stop signs and notices a red light in time to come to a screeching halt in the middle of the intersection. Fortunately I was behind that one.
Another lady forced me into a parking lot when she ran a stop sign with that cell phone on and then screamed at me that I was trying to kill her. She then appeared to be calling the police on her cell phone. I just drove on and never met any officer.

I see now WHY

I don’t have a television (I never got the digital adapter),

I don’t have a cell phone (I can’t STAND them)

I stopped reading newspapers years ago

Going out in my car in a local neighborhood means trying not to run over idiots oblivious to their surroundings while they walk directly out into the street,

The standard operating procedure for pedestrians in a close to 100% illegal alien neighborhood near me (which one can’t avoid driving through to get to other places)

is to step out into the street while talking on a cell phone in one hand WHILE HOLDING a baby in the other arm.

In that neighborhood there are wreaths of flowers on the median every 25 feet or so (the extended family chips in for an attempted memorial for their traffic fatality member).
