Fred Basset by Alex Graham for October 19, 2022

Mr Dear is online while you are online and that can be hazardous eh Fred?

Mr. Dear’s lesson in getting his face out of that stupid phone and actually joining you fully is just about to happen. It’s a lesson he and a lot of other people need to learn. I don’t even turn my phone on once a month. It’s never on when I leave the house as I regard it as an electronic leash and don’t want one. In fact, I’ve never memorized the number. Get your face out of the stupid phone and be fully present and engaged.

Wouldn’t the leash hurt your throat Fred?

People who don’t pay attention…

Proof that some folks do have trouble walking and talking at the same time ;-)

I leave my phone at home when I walk my dog. I take that break every morning.

Mr Dear you should pay attention to were you are walking Fred

Fred could avert the situation, but Noooooo!

Fred, you still have time to move to your right before the accident happens.

I am sure that call is very important! /s

Merely another form of daydreaming without a care.

Come on Mr dear, that’s no way to take Fred for a walk, leave the phone in your pocket X

Sometimes my call phone is off for 3 days at a time as i ONly turn it on when i leave my home for instant emergency use.

Bring him down, Fred, bring him down…

You are so right. Too many people are slaves to their electronic gadgets. I’ve seen pedestrians almost get hit by cars because they were paying attention to their phones and not to their surroundings.
