An interesting fact about David

In the summer of 2009, David took a cross-country motorcycle trip on his Harley. Starting in New Jersey, he headed south and then west on a roundabout course to San Francisco. Some of the highlights of the trip were seeing Elvis Costello play a bluegrass show in Nashville, catching some sidewalk jazz in New Orleans, and visiting the magnificent canyons in northern Arizona and southern Utah. David’s favorite road was the Blue Ridge Parkway, and the scariest was the Pacific Coast Highway. While on the road, he managed to destroy two smartphones (one was drowned, the other crushed). David himself survived both incidents.
