Had to Happen

And I knew one day it would.

Yesterday afternoon while driving to the 4:15 it seemed like a good idea to check my cell and see if I'd missed any messages. And while scrolling through menu options I blew right through a stop light.

I was so distracted (or so intensely focused on the wrong goal) that if I hadn't looked up and seen the startled faces of the drivers facing me at the intersection, I might've never even suspected what I'd done.

Uh, and this came after I'd hit the curb with the front-passenger side wheel a few miles before, while trying to plug in the charger.

Lesson learned: either drive, talk, recharge or text message ... but don't do more than three at the same time.
