PSA

I love these babies and it occurs to me that the 

rest of the world needs to know about them.

You see, I'm a walker.

I walk a LOT.

We're talking 20 to 30 miles a week.

We very deliberately live "in town" so I can walk

to where I need to go.

Now, I do cut drivers some slack. I get it when they "almost" 

run me over in crosswalks. They really aren't looking 

for little old me, they are more on the look out for other cars.

I am fine being a defensive walker. 

But I do have a pet peeve.

And, you knew I would.

People who park across the sidewalk and by so doing, forcing me to 

walk in the mud around their driveway (cause you know,

it's always muddy there) or worse, force me to walk

in the street, into traffic, giving aforementioned cars

another opportunity to run me down. 

And worse yet, when I'm pushing a stroller!!!

They have a line for parking on a sidewalk.

Occupying more than one space.

Blaring a useless car alarm.

There are 20 infractions to choose from. 

I'm not sure if tucking one of these under a wiper blade

would be considered passive aggressive but it 

sure does help take the edge off that impotent rage. 

I'll explain that phrase another time :o)
