One of my pet peeves! As far as I'm concerned, there aren't ENOUGH pedestrian deaths here in California! Pedestrians here slow down when they cross the street just to prolong the joy of demanding their inalienable right to keep traffic to a crawl! Now if we could bump off a few lollygagging, ipod listening, latte swigging, holier-than-thou foot commuters, traffic might start flowing again. Heck, no one's supposed to be walking in California any way! Look both ways--twice--when I'm on the road...

A fact that he attributed to MA pedestrians knowing they were taking their life in their hands every time they stepped off the curb :) *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
