And all it takes is a split second to lose concentration.
And yet you still see people talking on their phones while driving!
A split second of stupidity.

Hope you had a wonderful day! Verse was a warning of how easily accidents can happen when we are distracted… Take care…
What did we all do before these phones were available? lol
I know! I often wonder what my mom and dad would think of all the technology we have now!
…I have something I need to post…..the same experience……your word usage here is great…..although it portrays a sad situation…
