Last June, the state of California enacted a law prohibiting drivers from using a cell phone while driving unless equipped with hands-free device. That worked so good, that the observed non-compliance rate, actually increased by about 50 percent (myself and the better half, being the observers).

I think they must have named this area in Joshua Tree National Park after one of Mickey Mantle’s organs.
