Another 16-year-old was killed in Asheville this week because she was answering a text message and crossed the center line, hitting a truck. And a young girl walking along a street was killed when a driver texted this message: "Do we have enough cheese for the party?" and veered off the road, striking her. Please stop. Put your cell phone in the back seat when you drive. (Thanks to Cate Scales)
