Here’s a little advice for folks living here, take it – or don’t. Your life, your choice….
To the folks getting off of the bus in front of the new bank on Newberry Rd, just beyond NW 43rd, at 7:30am. Do not attempt to cross six lanes of traffic to get to the OTHER bus stop. Walk 25 steps backwards to the corner, where the light and the crosswalks are. Do you not understand that Newberry in that spot runs DIRECTLY east/west and at 7:30am cars can barely see each other and they certainly can’t see you or your 10 year old son as you attemp to cross ILLEGALLY in that spot. I know it’s cold. I know you don’t want to walk the extra 25 steps back and the extra 25 steps foward. Do it anyway, it’s safer.
To the woman at the corner of University and whatever that street is that the stadium is on, right there with the flashing marquee. Just because the WALK sign lights up, that does not mean you should immediately step into the crosswalk. You do this everyday and everyday a car attempts to HIT you by turning right. You live in this town. You know that red lights really don’t mean anything and green lights mean everything to drivers. Pause and count to three before you step out. Or better yet, LOOK BEHIND YOU. One of these days, you ARE going to get hit. And I don’t want to be there to see it.
And to the people surfing here with the Mac everyday, no advice for you. Hi. Having fun? Are you bored? Would you like me to suggest some activities that might be of more interest to you? Some blogs that you might find more to your liking? Some volunteer activities within the community? Are you hoping I’ll talk about you? No? You’d rather just sit here quietly, day after day, clicking page after page? Well ok. Just as long as you know that I know you’re here. And I know what you click. And I know why you click.
