Well, good to know you don't pay attention to waiters, checkout clerks, 
and other complete strangers. (that's a "hee hee", folks)

->attention to my food, bear, or whatever else, well then I suggest
->you worry more about yourself than me.

Bears! where do you dine with a bear! Lyle Lovett sang a song about that 
once... didn't think you could find bear companions anywhere but Texas. 

I guess there are cataegories of people who need to always be connected 
(or have a line in to their universe) and those who don't and those who 
are inbetween. 

To add to the list of abominable cell phone usages: talking on the phone 
whilst at a concert. 

Cheers
