It doesn't always happen that way...

A couple of years ago my wife and I were in St. John's, AZ and I had pulled 
over to call my frail mother, the reports from our travels were a high point of 
her day.

As I was talking a police cruiser pulled up behind us and the officer got out 
and came to see if we needed some help.  He had recognized that we were from 
out of town and just was making sure everything was all right.  When I 
explained what was going on, he smiled and wished us a good trip....

Cellphones while driving...  I think we owe our attention to the road and the 
others operating vehicles around us.  Stick to business.  My convenience is 
not worth risking your safety.
