July 1st is just around the corner and that means
it’s time for a major change in the lives of many California drivers.
Why? Because beginning July 1st, the new CA state law addressing
electronic device (cell phones, laptops, text messaging, etc.) use
while driving goes into effect.

So what does this update to the CA Vehicle Code mean for Californian drivers? That all depends on your age.

For Minors (under the age of 18)
Sorry
teens, but you won’t be allowed to operate ANY electronic device while
you are driving a motor vehicle. That includes no cellular phones, no
sending text messages, no PDA’s, etc. In addition, minors are not
allowed to be driving even if their phone is hands-free. Only time a
phone may be used in exception to this new law: if there is a true
emergency.

For Adults (over the age of 18)
You
will still be able to use your cell phone in your vehicle if you use a
hands-free device. So if you’re planning to talk on the road, you’ll
want to equip yourself with a Bluetooth device or another hands free
technology.

The Why
It’s easy to understand why the state of California does not want
drivers traveling around and talking on the phone at the same time.
Driving while distracted greatly increases your chance of getting into
an auto collision. In fact, 4,300 auto accidents a day are the result
of distracted driving. And when it comes to teens, a largely
inexperienced group of drivers, driving distracted is even more
catastrophic. According to a California Department of Motor Vehicles
study, teen drivers failed 54% of driving tasks (such as avoiding a
swerving vehicle) while talking on a cell phone!

The Penalty

What’s the punishment for violating this new CA cell phone law? A base
fine of $20 for first offenders and then an additional $50 for each
subsequent offense. The base fine does not include any court
administrative fees. So when it’s all said and done, you’re looking at
a fine of up to $250.

I’m not sure why I ended up searching on Wiki for ‘Dating’ but I did….

“Dating is any social activity performed as a pair or even a group with the aim of each assessing the other’s suitability as their partner in an intimate relationship or as a spouse. The word refers to the act of agreeing on a time and “date” when a pair can meet and engage in some social activity.

In many cultural traditions, dates are arranged by a third party, who may be a family member, an acquaintance, or a dedicated matchmaker. Recently matchmaking services have become popular. Although dating rules in Western popular culture have become more relaxed during the 20th century, there is considerable variation between individuals’ values. For example, when the activity costs money, it has traditionally been the man’s role to pay; in recent times the practice of “going Dutch” (splitting the expenses) has emerged. Traditional dating activities include sharing entertainment or a meal. In general, a person may date many different partners during the same time period in order to have the best chance of finding their most suitable available mate.”

MAN’s ROLE TO PAY?!   CITATION NEEDED!  CITATION NEEDED!!!

• 2 pounds fresh spinach, washed and tough stems removed
  
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  
• 1/2 cup finely chopped shallots
  
• 1 teaspoon minced garlic
  
• 3/4 teaspoon salt
  
• 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  
• 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
  
• 1/2 cup heavy cream

Bring a pot
of salted water to a boil over high heat. Add the spinach and cook for
2 minutes. Drain in a fine mesh strainer, pressing with a large spoon
to release as much water as possible. Finely chop and set aside.

Melt the butter in medium saute pan over medium-high heat. Add the
shallots and garlic and cook, stirring, until soft and fragrant, about
2 minutes. Add the spinach and cook, stirring, just until the liquid is
released. Add the cream, salt, pepper, and nutmeg, and cook until the
cream is reduced by half, about 4 minutes. Remove from the heat and
serve immediately.

that’s like blowing up 1 billion tons of TNT!
