Defensive Driving
Right now I am reporting live from downtown Rosemount, where I am on my lunch break from defensive driving class at nearby Dakota County Technical College. This morning was classroom instruction. Distracted driving can get you killed. Do not use cell phones, drink coffee or allow pets or passengers to move around the vehicle unrestrained. Anything that takes your eyes off the freeway for 2 seconds can lead to you traveling the length of a football field without looking where you are going. That said, now that I've rid the Smart car of coffee cups and turned off the radio, I'm ready to hit the course for some undistracted driving challenges.

Whoops! I am actually in downtown Rosemount, not Roseville. Slip of the thumbs there. I was distracted by a chip dripping with nacho cheese. Another potential driving distraction: Nachos! Do not try to consume them while driving. I can't even manage to consume them while texting on my cell phone. I can't imagine what would happen if I brought them behind the wheel. I'm shuddering at the thought.
