Ah, evolution in action.

Just seconds ago there was a loud collision in the intersection of 19th Avenue and Quintara. Naturally, I jumped up to see what was happening. Two cars, a BMW and a Lexus (possibly, hard to tell from this angle) tried to occupy the same space at the same time. It looked like one of them ran the light.

As I watched, the two drivers got out.. both on their cell phones.

From what I understand, many new insurance polices are now being written with "cell" clauses that specify that coverage ceases if you use a hands-on cell while driving. About time.

But anyway, I'm looking at about 100 grand worth of wreck, and the BMW isn't going *anywhere* under its own power. I hope they both are found at fault.
