Ever notice how oblivious people are these days? Having a 70 mile a day commute into RI., the state with the worst drivers (actually documented) I constantly ask myself "How can anyone be so completely unaware of what is going on around them?"

 Well, just go into any grocery store to see the whole senario on a smaller scale...When somebody has to stop, why do they do it right in the middle of the isile? While yaking on cells phones, why do they expect you to move out of their way, even if that means you have to go to the "left" of the aisle? Why do they blindly charge around corners? (got to go...back later)

to continue...anyway, besides cellphones ruining the roads, it seems the sense that kept people alive 200+ years ago is all but disappered. Most people I watch shopping or driving today would not last 2 seconds back then. They'd have a piece of flint or lead in their heads before you could say "clueless". Maybe it's a left-handed thing? The secret I think is to "drive ahead of where you are". I know what the 10 cars ahead and behind me are going to do before even they do. A good driver anticipates everything on the road!
