Driving Tip

Driving yesterday, I was happily listening to Marilyn Horne sing operatic arias on a CD. Powerful voice.

As I drove through a green light into an intersection, I saw an ambulance ready to enter the intersection--with its lights flashing and its siren on. I dimly heard the siren. I'm glad the ambulance driver had cautiously stopped! She and I exchanged glances--mine was, I'm sure, a look of fear.

Listening to a cellphone while driving is dangerous. So, I've just learned, is listening to loud (even if beautiful) music.
