Distracted Driving 0

As I was driving to the cooling tower place, a driver did what I find one of the most irritating things (outside of what happened to Phillybits).

On a moderately open road, with plenty of room to change lanes, she ran right up to–almost on–my rear end before she realized, “Hey, there is a vehicle in front of me. Perhaps I should consider moving into the passing lane and overtaking that vehicle which has the effrontery to obey the 65 mph speed limit.”

At the last minute, she whipped into the left hand lane and proceeded to tailgate the next driver until she was out of sight.

Perhaps she was distracted by the memo she had propped against the steering wheel.

But there are worse distractions.

This website does not track you.

It contains no private information. It does not drop persistent cookies, does not collect data other than incoming ip addresses and page views (the internet is a public place), and certainly does not collect and sell your information to others.

Some sites that I link to may try to track you, but that's between you and them, not you and me.

I do collect statistics, but I use a simple stand-alone Wordpress plugin, not third-party services such as Google Analitics over which I have no control.

Finally, this is website is a hobby. It's a hobby in which I am deeply invested, about which I care deeply, and which has enabled me to learn a lot about computers and computing, but it is still ultimately an avocation, not a vocation; it is certainly not a money-making enterprise (unless you click the "Donate" button--go ahead, you can be the first!).

I appreciate your visiting this site, and I desire not to violate your trust.
