Always a Wrong Number




     Well, I don't know how it is where you may be reading this, but today is the first day of school here in Dallas, Texas.  While we've spent a lot of time talking about business social media here, let's take a moment to talk business social media cellphone safety - and that message is:
     NO PHONE CALL OR TEXT MESSAGE IS WORTH THE LIFE OF A CHILD.  PERIOD.
     Those warning signs near schools are up for a reason.  You should never be updating your business social media while you are driving, anyway, but you should especially never do it while you are in a school zone.  The first week of school, kids are thinking about everything except watching out for you.
     So fold up those phones in the car, folks.  The extra five minutes you might save while texting and driving isn't worth the cost in a life or in a fine.  Pull into a Starbucks.  Have a cup of joe.  And text to your heart's content.
     Just don't do it in a school zone, because that's always going to be a wrong number.
