I’m out of touch

Just watched a neighborhood kid on his bike riding down the street, in circles, on his cellphone.  He had his helmet on.  But is there no law about using hands free/Bluetooth only while riding a bike?

I suppose I should be happy he wasn’t texting.  I loathe the fact that “text” is a verb now.

    Is that no different than when Google became a verb?

    “Google” doesn’t bother me. It’s a relatively new word. (“Googol” is old.) “Text” has been around for a long time. And it has that patina of hipness to it that drives me nuts. But I’m an old crank. . .
