In my metro Boston area town, I am constantly amazed at the pedestrians on our winding, sidewalk-free roads. In the morning, at dawn, it is the walkers, dogwalkers and joggers, often not facing the traffic, sometimes two abreast. In the afternoon, even worse, there are often women (either mothers or nannies) pushing baby carriages along while drivers are rushing home. They all seem to think they’re too fabulous for someone not to see them and look out for them. Tragedies waiting to happen.
No doubt about it, there are a LOT of stupid friggin people in this world, as if the 2008 presidential election wasn't evidence enough. Early morning Sun in drivers' eyes don't help matters.
