This morning while out for my little jog, I saw two unusual things.
The first one was something I'd never seen before, though I'm kind of surprised I hadn't: a kid texting while riding a bicycle. The bike was coming toward me, and I saw it from some distance away. It was weaving quite a bit, and when it got a little closer, I saw that the rider had only one hand on the handlebars. The other hand held a cell phone, and he was texting with his thumb. I wasn't surprised. I expect I'll see this again.
The second was something I hadn't seen in years: a man mowing his lawn while smoking a cigarette. He had both hands on the mower handles, and the cigarette was clamped in his mouth. I was a lot more surprised at this sight than at the other one. Both of them told me something about how much things had changed during my lifetime.
