    Under new rules in England, Scotland and Wales, drivers caught using a phone within two years of passing their test will have their license revoked. if law enforcement globally see's someone driving a vehicle with a cell phone in their hands ( other than law enforcement that are getting paid to serve and protect ) and can visually see that they are not concentrating on the road / traffic, pull them over, arrest them and impound the vehicle. case closed. forget the 2 year thing, start it now. i cant even walk across the street from where i work to the convenience store without seeing a driver on a cell phone. you do have to stare at them to make sure they see you especially if they are stopped in the middle of the crosswalk. i like walking behind their car and in front of the car behind them. not really.

    Public pools are fucking disgusting. ok, i'm from arizona where it should be illegal to not have a pool that comes with the house due to the obvious heat but that would be arrogant. fortunately, we have a pool in our back yard that yes, both my wife and i take care of so we don't have to deal with the public or pool cleaning contractors even in our so-called medium neighborhood. we actually live about 5 miles away from what the community calls the ghetto where they are happy with the old fashioned garden hose and a $100 blow up pool, it keeps the kids happy and thats what matters. some of our neighbors actually hire contractors to clean their pools and the horror stories are endless in fact, my wife has actually taken the time to help some of our neighbors with their pools. personally, you get what you invest it.

    good for the schools as the younger generations will get into open source. i did a linux migration for ibm back in 12-13 here in phoenix, az. we put a win7 kvm on the gnome desktop so the end user would not be too confused due to the lack of the "start" button. the majority of ibm customers do of course use ms office outlook for email instead of lotus notes. unfortunately, several mobile ibmers ( 20+ years with the company ) that visited our 2 man office decided to take early retirement rather than learn a new operating system that promises no viruses.
