  hey that’s cheating. that was how i crossed busy streets when i was walking home from undergrad.

  i had a bright neon painted metal water bottle. I would raise it and make eye contact. just like that. like, this is mine, but it can be yours. you don’t know if it weighs an ounce or 5 pounds. stops traffic remarkably well, especially considering the law and the sign everyone ignored right above my head said “stop for pedestrians”.

  yes, i did have a death wish you don’t need to ask. living in utah does that to you when you’ve seen life on the outside.

    Is Utah that bad? It’s at the top of so many lists. I could imagine the people being the biggest problem, though.

      it was, yeah.

      there is incentive to game those lists. they are… what is the word… tourism? advertisement?
