    Love the random thoughts and questions. Not sure about FB. I did the 25 random things — seemed like a great way to reveal more about myself. I have never understood the car-swerving thing, but I just mentioned it to someone the other day. Anyway, great post — loved the bluetooth observation (I hate those things!). Look forward to reading more random questions and thoughts.
