I Guess I Should Be Thankful He Saw Me At All

That sound you just heard, if you live in the vicinity of 21st and Cherry Streets in Philadelphia, was an asshole honking at me to get out of the crosswalk so he could floor it across 21st Street. Out of the way, <sneer>pedestrian</sneer>, I need to get on with the business of scaring the wits out of all the parents of young children who live on this block of Cherry Street!

What is it with drivers these days? They are all insane.

Except for me, of course.

But whatever happened to "the pedestrian always has the right of way?"

Morrisa:

Well, I'M certainly thankful he saw you. I think YOU should be thankful you are an intelligent and beautiful woman, in love, with a wonderful son. Be thankful you are not a loveless, cold, empty boor, who thinks two seconds of his arrival time is more important than the peace and well-being of a mother and child in a crosswalk. I wish him one wretched night of pure self-awareness, and I wish you lovely dreams tonight.
