Don’t Text While Driving: Death Text

Texting while driving can be deadly.  This is terrifying.  Look at the CSI tech’s blue gloves.

Here is the full article from Yahoo.  They won’t mind if I copy it, if they do….tough boogies.

DENVER (AP) — Alexander Heit’s final text cut off in mid-sentence. Before he could send it, police say the 22-year-old University of Northern Colorado student drifted into oncoming traffic, jerked the steering wheel and went off the road, rolling his car.

Heit died shortly after the April 3 crash, but his parents and police are hoping the photo of the mundane text on his iPhone will serve as a stark reminder to drivers.

The photo, published Wednesday in The Greeley Tribune, shows Heit was responding to a friend by typing “Sounds good my man, seeya soon, ill tw” before he crashed.

Witnesses told police that Heit appeared to have his head down when he began drifting into the oncoming lane in the outskirts of Greeley, where the University of Northern Colorado is located. According to police, an oncoming driver slowed and moved over just before Heit looked up and jerked the steering wheel.

Police say Heit, a Colorado native who loved hiking and snowboarding, had a spotless driving record and wasn’t speeding.

In a statement released through police, Heit’s mother said she doesn’t want anyone else to lose someone to texting while driving.

“In a split second you could ruin your future, injure or kill others, and tear a hole in the heart of everyone who loves you,” Sharon Heit said.

Kenny Chesney at Shoreline Amphitheatre

Went to our first concert since last year when we took Carol and Kristen to see Blake Shelton.

The video does not do justice to Kenny Chesney who is an AWESOME entertainer!  Billy Currington and Uncle Kracker are great too, but, Kracker and Chesney together are special!  Terrific show overall.  (Shoreline sucks getting in and out of with your car (traffic, traffic, traffic), but, the venue is really nice…take a limo!)  :-)

University of California at Davis

This is where Carol was supposed to go.  There are two videos.  The first one is the “official” UC Davis promo, and the second I made while we were visiting UC Davis.

The video below I took when we went with Kristen & Carol to see the campus. I believe this was the first time Carol saw U.C. Davis and she was planning to attend….she almost made it.  :-(

Google Grants

As soon as (if, might be a better word) ForCarol.com, Inc.  gets the 501c3 Federal non-profit status.  You can bet Google Grants will be getting an application.  :-)
