    When I was using an automatic I started holding/using the phone a lot more. Struggled focusing but because of the utter boredom driving became I persisted the use. Came back to shifting, 90% decrease.

    We had the same problem actually. That auto was nice but we became somewhat... lazy with it from time to time unfortunately. But on the other hand... it was a very good auto for what's it's worth. Especially when you consider that it's tuning to the 500 detroit was so good that it will shift when I reached for the stick that was not there when it's time to. It took me months to stop reaching...

    Company I work for does not allow any phone use while driving. This includes hands free or headset. I like that rule. Someone phones I just let it go to voicemail and return the call when I'm parked safely.

    I looked on my way out of town today and it happened right where I thought it did .
    They are completely re doing 80 thru council bluffs from Madison ave to the Missouri river and will soon be 3 lanes in each direction , all new overpasses and ramps ..road will be completely realigned from Madison ave to the east I 29 split .
    Not far to go and 80 will be at least 6 lanes from the east side of council bluffs all the way to the west side of Lincoln .
