Damn those pelicans

About 3 p.m. a low-flying pelican distracted him as he traveled north on Interstate 45 just south of the hurricane levee near Omega Bay.

The man jerked the wheel, dropped his cell phone, and the car's front tire left the frontage road and entered a muddy patch, which foiled his attempt to maneuver away from the lagoon.

I went to the link to check out the Bugatti, but then I got distracted by the Booth Babes of Sema 2009 link http://jalopnik.com/5398124/conspicuously-...ne=true&s=x

Dropped his cell phone? You pay that kind of jack and you don't get Bluetooth?
