Resolutions

1. Not Drive While Talking on
Cell Phones: This will not only make
the world a safer place but will ensure
“quality” time while engaged in con-

associates. This resolution also extends
to talking on cell phones in restaurants
or grocery stores. It truly annoys me to
hear someone on the cell phone in the
produce isle discussing whether they
should buy the asparagus from peru or
the green beans from the USA. Or worse
discussing the sordid details from the
previous evening. This resolution in-
cludes also NO TEXTING while driving
