Is it possible that hes seen the whale a few times already, has his pictures and is not interested anymore? -- nm - Walt_Disney Feb 6, 06:47 5
- I don't want to go all Double Rainbow on this but that doesn't seem possible. - Mel Profit Feb 6, 07:14 2
  - maybe he doesn't really like whales. -- nm - CQ Feb 6, 07:26 1
    - I'll play along...even if he's a not a fan of whales, they're big and he's on a sail boat. He should be paying attention to the moving thing... - Mel Profit Feb 6, 07:44

I've been trying to look around more and less at my phone but the people on the train are rough on the eyes. -- nm - Krusty Feb 6, 06:30
I'm sort of amazed how engrossed people are by their phones. It's really intense. - Mel Profit Feb 6, 06:30 7
- I just don't get it. I consider myself to be fairly techy overall, but if I spend more than 5 minutes on my phone at a time, that's extreme. -- nm - Shaun Feb 6, 06:40 2
  - I never use one. my wife carries it but she rarely uses it either. -- nm - Beaker Feb 6, 06:56 1

- When I take my kids to the local playground, it's cell phone insanity with the moms and nannies. - CQ Feb 6, 06:35

- Yup. I see people crossing messy streets but keeping their heads down reading or texting. They'll wonder what happened after they get dragged by a bus -- nm - Krusty Feb 6, 06:32 1
  - my schadenfreude is off the charts with these people when they have a problem (barring serious injury). - Mel Profit Feb 6, 07:26
