THUNK!!! Squish squish squish....

Driving home from UCLA today, I almost killed both a bicyclist and a pedestrian. Later on, it occured to me that if I had hit either, or both, I could have just told the cops it was natural selection, and that no one could possibly want those morons in the gene pool. The bicyclist was weaving in an out of 30mph traffic turning onto Wilshire Blvd at a major intersection. The pedestrian was crossing Sepulveda where the road curves rather sharply, about 25m from a traffic light. I had to stop short to avoid hitting the imbecile. Next time, I might just not bother.

The cyclist was trying to raise awareness.

Wait, did you actually just report the pedestrian distance in METERS? Jesus, is that what they do to people out there on the Pacific coast?

I was wondering if anyone would actually notice that....

Thanks to track, I got used to estimating distances of this size in meters. And that's track on the Atlantic coast. :-)
