  1. Congrats on your win!

    That is a great poem, and phone use should be basnned on bikes as they are for cars.
    I wasn't even on a phone, (did not even have one), and I was walking with a friend and chatting...and I walked into a no parking sign...OUCH! I wore a nice bruise on my shoulder for a long time...

  6. Congratulations on your win. Love the poem. I often see people walking down the road with their heads in their phones and think they’re going to run into something

  7. Congratulations on the book! You will have to let us know what you read. And my bicycle ride is like that a lot, people paying no attention to where they're going.

  8. For many these days, that is important advice. The newer generations don't know how to pay attention to things other than their phone.

  13. Oh my, the sidewalk. I can see someone running or walking or biking right into because it's rare to see someone out walking etc that's not on their phone. Great picture of the cat on the book jacket. Hope you enjoy the book. Congrats on your win!!

  20. Excellent and true poem. I see the girls riding their bikes in our neighborhood while looking at their phones. It always gives me bad feelings about things that could happen.
