5 30 06 Cell phone use....I don't get it.

I'm OK with cell phones.
Of the five in my household mine logs as many minutes as any of my teens'.

I'm even OK with the make-up applying uber-soccer-moms in their Lexi almost running me over at 80 MPH while on their cell phones.

This one I don't get.

This was dead center in front of the stage of the Memorial Day outdoor symphony performance.
She chatted on the phone for the entire two hour awe-inspiring symphony performance to include the fireworks.
I guess I could give her the benefit of the doubt and assume she was on the phone with her 87 year old WWII veteran
great-grandfather so that he might hear the patriotic memorial music from his hospital bed.
Or perhaps not.

As one thats "not ok with cell phones" your story is amazing, and typical at the same time. I see it mostly as a security blanket. A real weakness of character. Anyway, sorry to use your page for social commentary. You can delete this if you'd like. Nice capture.

Excellent candid! So well isolated in the image and reality!

Surely you remember what it was like at that age when a phone call with that special voice on the other end was the most important thing in the world?? I talked through much of a hurricane at 16 until a tree crashed through the roof and severed the phone cord!
