Can You Hear Me Now?

This evening as my wife and took our walk around the neighborhood at dark, we were marveling at the fireflies. I don’t know if it has been the really wet weather that has kept them scarce or what, but tonight they were everywhere. A few minutes into the walk we were passed by a 20-something fellow on a mountain bike with no lights or reflectors. We exchanged hellos and off he went. As Donna and I started discussing his unsafe riding habits once he was about 20 yards away he pegged the stupid-o-meter. He suddenly swerved across to the other lane as he reached into his pocket to answer his cell phone. At least he was travelling down a quiet street with little chance of getting flattened by an automobile.
