Cell Phones

I’m sure the inventor of the cell phone didn’t anticipate that they would become the single most irritating device since the Chinese finger puzzle. But nevertheless, here we are. Every day I encounter scores of addicts, and believe me, it is an addiction, like meth or Starbucks (but that’s for another day.) They can’t fathom being disconnected for the 7 minutes they wait for the bus. It can be 29 below outside (and around here it often is) and they’ll still be dialing or texting.
