Media madnes

A businessman stopped to talk to me. He had a mobile phone and a lighted cigarette in his left hand. The phone rang and he answered the phone. 
When he did, the lighted cigarette burned his hair. 
This is just insane!

A miracle.

 This morning I watched a well dressed women in her late twenties walk across a busy road full of rush hour traffic. Although the road was full of speeding cars, trucks and buses, this women walked aimlessly to the other side completely oblivious to the traffic which narrowly missed or the horns of the angry motorist as she was staring intensely at her media device. She continued walking to the station still engrossed in her device. 

It was a pure miracle that she wasn't killed.
