I was riding my motor scooter the other day, and I stopped at a red light. I saw a man walking along looking at something in his hand. I was expecting to see a cell phone, but when I looked more closely at his hands, I saw that he was reading a book. He was turning the pages as he was walking. It must have been a good book because he didn’t look up. Luckily, he was on a wide sidewalk, and there weren’t many cyclists or pedestrians (people who are walking). Even so, I don’t think it’s a good idea to read while you are walking. (by Prof. Douglas Jarrell)
