My takeaway: nobody noticed that Dave's misspelling of "dike" made it a very dirty metaphor? Come on, people.<br /><br />Also, Dave is right on most of those points, but it's hard. All 4 of our kids have smartphones. They are teens and preteens and out and about and I use them as a means of constant contact as well as tracking devices. I need to know where they are.<br /><br />Also, I began reading Dave's post on a Smartphone while I was driving. Very bad, and I had a minor epiphany and put it away. Thanks, Dave.Clarencehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16158685457558455627noreply@blogger.com
