When I was a bicycle messenger I saw it 5 times a day; old people driving huge, American made pollution machines dangerously. They were dangerous for several reasons: poor eyesight, slow reflexes, etc... So I am very happy to see that George
R. Weller will probably spend the rest of his life behind bars for his
part in killing several people when he drove his car into a pedestrian only
farmer's market. I have long advocated for old people to either stop
driving or have to pass more rigorous eye and reflex tests in order to
keep their licenses. Perhaps this court case will force states to implement such laws.
A true comic genius has passed away today. One of the first comedy albums I remember listening to as a child is "The Button-Down Mind of Bob Newhart." His most famous shtick was the telephone conversation where the audience hears only his end of the call. The most famous and best of this is the " Introducing Tobacco to Civilization " skit.
