    As a matter of fact, yesterday I learned the wife of a neighbor of mine down the road had a "texting" accident. She was texting while walking along a concrete sidewalk in the city. She tripped, fell and broke her nose. Witnesses told the EMTs it appeared she continued to text while falling and thus hit her face on the concrete at full force. OUCH!   This post was edited by Ancient One at February 26, 2017 3:17 AM MST
