I was headed south on transit today, about to turn on to walden. There must be a news stand box there or something… A man was looking down at it, and as I started to slow down to make my turn, I saw him stand up, turn around and walk right in to the road… Didn’t even look to see if any traffic was coming. I’m glad I was paying attention, because I had a green and would’ve mowed him down. I just found it so odd how he just strolled right in to my path, and didn’t even look once, even after I slowed down a few feet from him. Obviously he could hear my car… Unless he was deaf. Then he’s even more retarded for not looking. As I was driving away, I realized he didn’t even buy a newspaper or anything (it may have been a stand that sells cheek or lancaster bee?) ---

Driving down Main st. near UB… God I hate that fucking area. Nothing like an Dumb ass not paying any attention at all bolting across the street. Cross walk was about ohhh 5-10 yards away. He literally took off running across the street and saw my car last second and stopped. It may be a small car, but its still a motorized vehicle thats going to take your ass out. I hate how many people run across the street there and especially on the weekend with all the drunks. ---
