Don't text and drive

Do me a favor: take a half-hour and watch Werner Herzog's stunning documentary about the perils of texting while driving. And make sure any young people in your life watch it, too. (It's online and free.)
Believe me, I know how tempting it is to check your phone when that text chime sounds, whether it's a simple "10 min late" from your lunch partner or an update from a pal who's stuck at a hotel above the Arctic Circle with boat trouble. But that split second of distraction can be lethal, as this chilling video hammers home.
Thanks for my brother-in-law for sharing "From One Second to the Next" with me. He posted it on Facebook yesterday evening; I started watching and didn't move until the closing credits.
