i was just out in monroeville,outside pittsburgh for the weekend.pretty nice 
area compared to pottsville.lots of things to do and friendly people-unlike 
out here LOL!did see a nice,red 427 cobra replica and slobbered all over 
myself.real sweet cars.did see one cell phone driver on the turnpike and she 
was doing 45.guess you forget about everything else when that imprtant phone 
call comes in.i believe they should ban cells just like new york did,unless 
you have an emergency.then again you can pull off the road to use it.BOB
