I'm not going to reset my odometer while moving, are
you nuts?  No it's not because I'm afraid of breaking
it...

I've got too much to do already while moving;
steering; braking; shifting; sipping my latté; holding
my cellphone; taking notes for later; booting up my
laptop; reading the op/ed page; yelling at the radio;
speaking of which I have to press the station buttons
on the radio and adjust the volume constantly; plus
then there's reading the map and actually using my
turn signals; using sign language to communicate with
other drivers; trying to get the dash lights to work;
pulling my socks up; tucking in my shirt; checking the
mirrors for cops; picking up the baby's pacifier;
checking her diaper; pointing at the wildlife; noting
gas and coolant temp gauge postions; switching the
wiper and heater controls; digging in the glovebox for
the pen; etc; etc.

So I'll stick to resetting the odo before moving off.
