Hall: Texting Among The Zombies

That railroad engineer whose Philadelphia train derailed last month killing eight people may have been cleared of any texting or talking on a phone while in charge. I wish I could say the same about some automobile drivers. I stroll the streets for exercise and it’s a jungle out there. Every morning, at least one sleepy driver goes past, using one hand on the wheel and the other hand holding a phone with the motorist dangerously driving dull-eyed and blatantly lost in thought. It’s like pedestrians are invisible. I think it must have something to do with the zombie fad in the movies. Zombies stumble along, coming toward you looking for lunch. You’re lunch. But at least zombies are paying attention to the walkers and joggers, which is more than some texters I have seen/ Bill Hall , Lewiston Tribune. More here .
