you're being an idiot today.
Is it an early costume?

Issue with texting: it is in your hand, not on the dashboard, which allows the illusion that you are peripherally watching the traffic ahead.
Second: few people "touch type" a texting keyboard, so put far more of their attention to the small keyboard and no longer pay attention to the road. Reading the message is not the problem, sending them is.

Now I'll depart from the cross current of reason to try and figure out what your blood choas level is for today.
