Don't mean to stray any further from Eddie's topic, but I had to mention this. I live in an extremely, EXTREMELY congested area where I notice more and more accidents happening daily. And, a lot of "head-ons." I don't doubt it's from any or all of the above. I've been considering getting a motorcycle helmet to wear when I have to ride the highways. The only reason I haven't done it so far is because it would block my view of seeing anyone too close to me on either side of my car. All this attention to the road wears me getting to the gig...I'm finding I'm not relaxed as I should be when I get there!

I can still remember clearly the days when all I needed was to place my keyboard, amp, and rhythm in the trunk of my car and take a leisurely drive to the job. The times "they are a-changin."

Now answer Eddie's question!!! And thanks to him for listing all those. It made me realize the list of "distractions" that have cropped up for people since cellphones first came on the scene.
